Medicare would make it easier for family caregivers to get health information for their loved ones.
This bill would make it simpler for family caregivers to get health information about their loved ones who are on Medicare. It would require the government to tell Medicare members how to let a family caregiver access their personal health details through the 1-800-MEDICARE phone line. This means caregivers could more easily help manage their family member's healthcare.
Today, Medicare members and those applying for it might not know they can let family caregivers access their personal health information through 1-800-MEDICARE. There isn't a clear, standard way to do so. After this bill, the government would actively inform millions of Medicare members and their family caregivers about this option, making it easier to authorize access using a specific form and providing fraud protection guidance.
