H.R. 4378 · 112th Congress
Ensuring Access to Quality Complex Rehabilitation Technology Act of 2012
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 112th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Prescribes requirements for payments for CRT items.
Directs the Secretary to establish standards for clinical conditions for CRT item payment as well as quality standards for suppliers of such items.
