What this bill would do

This bill, called the "Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act," aims to improve access to remote monitoring services under Medicare. It ensures that Medicare will pay for remote monitoring services with a minimum of just 2 days of data collection within a 30-day period for two years after the bill passes. The bill also requires a report to Congress on remote monitoring services, including recommendations for a better payment model.

Potential Positive Impacts for People

  • Section 2, Findings: Highlights that remote monitoring can help patients manage their health from home, potentially improving health outcomes and reducing long-term health costs. This can increase care options for patients.

  • Section 3(a): Ensures Medicare will pay for remote monitoring services with only 2 days of data collection over 30 days for two years. This makes remote monitoring more accessible, as the previous requirement was 16 days.

Potential Negative Impacts for People

  • There is nothing explicitly stated in this bill that would suggest negative impacts for people.
