The Secretary must periodically review HMO assistance programs and send Congress an annual summary. That summary covers grants and loans made, plus statistics reported to the Secretary. It also covers findings on HMOs' fiscal soundness, member services, and their impact compared to other health-care options. The Office of Management and Budget may review the report first, but can't revise it or delay it.
(a) The Secretary* must periodically review the assistance programs authorized by this subchapter, and send Congress an annual report summarizing activities under each program. That summary must include:
(1) a rundown of every grant, contract, loan, or loan guarantee made under this subchapter during the reporting period, plus a list of HMOs that became "qualified" HMOs under section 300e-9 during that time;
(2) the statistics and other information reported to the Secretary during that period under section 300e(c)(11);
(3) findings on whether HMOs that got assistance under this subchapter can: (A) run a fiscally sound operation without continued federal help, (B) meet section 300e(c)'s organizational and operational requirements, (C) provide basic and supplemental services the way section 300e(b) requires, (D) include low-income and high-risk individuals as members, and (E) serve medically underserved populations; and
(4) findings comparing: (A) different categories of HMOs against each other, (B) HMOs as a group against other ways of delivering health care, and (C) the impact HMOs have on public health -- individually, by category, and as a whole.
(b) The Office of Management and Budget may review the Secretary's report before it goes to Congress, but it can't revise the report or delay sending it. OMB may submit its own comments (and those of other agencies) about the report to Congress.
The Secretary* shall periodically review the programs of assistance authorized by this subchapter and make an annual report to the Congress of a summary of the activities under each program. The Secretary shall include in such summary—
a summary of each grant, contract, loan, or loan guarantee made under this subchapter in the period covered by the report and a list of the health maintenance organizations which during such period became qualified health maintenance organizations for purposes of section 300e–9 of this title;
the statistics and other information reported in such period to the Secretary in accordance with section 300e(c)(11) 1 of this title;

to meet the requirements of section 300e(c) of this title respecting their organization and operation,
to provide basic and supplemental health services in the manner prescribed by section 300e(b) of this title,
to include indigent and high-risk individuals in their membership, and
to provide services to medically underserved populations; and
findings with respect to—
the operation of distinct categories of health maintenance organizations in comparison with each other,
