Ensures Medicare patients would keep access to certain cancer treatments.

This bill would make sure Medicare pays separately for certain high-cost cancer treatments given in hospital outpatient settings. This change would help Medicare patients keep access to these important treatments. It would also ensure hospitals are paid fairly for providing these services, starting in 2026.

What Would Change

Today, Medicare often bundles payments for certain cancer treatments with other hospital outpatient services. This bill would require Medicare to pay separately for specific cancer treatments if their estimated daily cost is at least $350, starting in 2026. This change aims to ensure hospitals are paid accurately for these treatments.
