Summary

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021, and Other Extensions Act

This bill provides continuing FY2021 appropriations to federal agencies through December 18, 2020, and extends several expiring health programs.

It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur if the FY2021 appropriations bills have not been enacted when the existing CR expires on December 11, 2020.

The bill includes provisions that

  • extend several public health, Medicare, Medicaid, and Food and Drug Administration authorities and programs;
  • require the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to share Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug benefit enrollment information with liability insurers in response to Medicare secondary payer inquiries; and
  • require the Drug Enforcement Administration to revise regulations so as to allow a practitioner to dispense up to a three-day supply of narcotic drugs to one person or for one person's use at one time for the purpose of initiating maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment, or both.
