Lets Medicare cover external infusion pumps and certain home infusion drugs for eligible patients.
This bill would make it easier for Medicare to pay for external infusion pumps and specific drugs used for infusions at home. It would expand coverage for patients needing these treatments, if certain conditions are met about how and how often the drugs are given. Patients would also get clear information about the costs of home infusion therapy.
Today, Medicare often doesn't cover external infusion pumps and certain home infusion drugs because they don't meet a specific rule for home use. After this bill, Medicare would cover these items if the drug requires professional supervision. It must also be given by a qualified supplier at home and infused at least 12 times a year. Patients would also get clear information about costs. These changes would start about one year after the bill becomes law.
