Medicare payments for medical equipment would stay stable longer for many seniors.
This bill would help keep Medicare payments for medical equipment, like wheelchairs, stable for many seniors. It extends a current payment rule until the end of 2025. It also delays a new payment rule for all areas until January 1, 2026. This aims to provide more stable prices and access for patients and the companies that supply their equipment.
Today, a specific transition rule for Medicare payments for durable medical equipment in certain areas would likely expire soon, and a new payment rule would take effect earlier. With this bill, the transition rule would be extended through December 31, 2025, for non-rural and non-noncontiguous areas, and the new payment rule would be delayed for all areas until January 1, 2026.
