Medicare would cover remote monitoring for home dialysis patients.
People with end-stage kidney disease who get dialysis at home would have their remote monitoring services covered by Medicare. This bill would make sure doctors get paid for these services starting January 1, 2028, making it easier for patients to get care from home.
Today, Medicare does not explicitly pay doctors for remote monitoring services for people with end-stage kidney disease on home dialysis using the standard physician fee schedule. If this bill becomes law, starting January 1, 2028, Medicare would specifically pay doctors for these services under that fee schedule, making it easier for patients to access this care.
