H.R. 7677, Closing the Provider Fraud Gap Act of 2026 - Cost Estimate

H.R. 7677 would establish or modify provisions related to provider fraud prevention in federal healthcare programs. The CBO cost estimate indicates the legislation would have no net effect on federal deficits. The bill was reported by the House Committee on Education and Workforce on April 6, 2026.

Healthcare providers participating in federal programs would face potential changes to compliance obligations if enacted. Government agencies administering healthcare programs may gain additional authority or tools to address provider fraud. The bill is still in the legislative process and has not been enacted into law.
