Preventive Health Savings Act: Scoring savings in budgetary outyears.

The Act amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the CBO Director, upon request by specific committees, to determine if legislation results in net outlay reductions via preventive health care in budgetary outyears. These estimates cover two consecutive 10-year periods beginning 10 years after the current fiscal year. The Act defines preventive health care as evidence-based actions.
Key points
Definition of budgetary outyears: Includes the 2 consecutive 10-year periods beginning with the first fiscal year that is 10 years after the current fiscal year.
Nature of estimates: Any estimate provided by the Director is supplementary and may not be used to determine compliance with the Congressional Budget Act or enforcement controls.
Definition of preventive care: Actions to protect health and prevent disease, supported by credible evidence from clinical trials and epidemiological models.
