The Senate followed the House by clearing a spending package Friday night that keeps a portion of the federal government funded until September and prevents a partial government shutdown.
The Senate voted 75 to 22 to approve the $460 billion package, according to media reports. Earlier in th week, House lawmakers approved the measure by a 339-to-85 vote, the New York Times reported.
President Joe Biden signed the measure on Saturday.
The bipartisan spending bill, which was unveiled on Sunday, March 3, narrows some of this year’s cuts to physician Medicare pay, pushes back scheduled disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payment cuts and increases annual funding for community health centers.
