The analyst can expect to collaborate with colleagues in HAD as well as throughout the agency to contribute to a number of analytic modeling efforts. Those efforts could include the following:
HAD has recently completed analyses on a wide variety of topics, including federal subsidies for health insurance coverage, federal policy approaches for addressing the opioid crisis, the 340B drug pricing program, the federal budgetary effects of a program to expand treatment of hepatitis C, health insurance options for small businesses, approaches for reducing prescription drug prices, the federal budgetary effects of authorizing Medicare to cover anti-obesity medications, the effects of not extending the enhanced premium tax credits on health insurance coverage and premiums, and approaches for reducing prices that commercial insurers pay for medical services.
The divisions ongoing work includes studies on a broad range of topics, including state-directed payments in Medicaid, spending growth in the Medicare Part D program, the impact of the No Surprises Act on health care prices and premiums, factors affecting demand for and spending on long-term services and supports, factors affecting investment in new drug development, projections of Medicare spending, nongroup health insurance, and price transparency.
Topics of analyses will shift over time, providing new opportunities for professional development and for contributing to CBOs work for Congress. The analyst will interact with a broad range of academic and industry specialists and collaborate with staff across the agency to develop estimates of the federal costs of legislative proposals as well as baseline estimates of the cost of government programs. Analysts are supported in disseminating both the agencys core work and their own adjacent research through CBO working papers and academic journal articles.
