Summary

Patient Fairness and Indigent Care Promotion Act of 2000 - Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, to terminate at the end of FY 2000 the current schedule of reductions in the amount of bad debts treated as allowable costs attributed to deductibles and coinsurance. (Thus provides for: (1) treatment of reductions in copayments as bad debt; and (2) reimbursement of hospitals for 100 percent of Medicare beneficiary bad debt.) Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a bad debt deduction for cash basis health care providers for at least 75 percent of unpaid services provided to low-income individuals.
