AI Summary
This bill keeps Medicare payments for certain home medical equipment at a higher rate through the end of 2025 in nonrural or noncontiguous areas. This covers things like wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, and other durable medical equipment. The goal is to help keep suppliers stable so people can keep getting the gear they need at home. It also pauses a planned payment change until January 1, 2026, so current payment rules stay in place a bit longer.
Key points:
- Who is affected: Medicare patients who use home medical equipment, and the companies that supply it.
- What changes: Extends a higher payment rate for equipment in nonrural or noncontiguous areas; delays a new payment rule until 2026 .
- When: Higher rates run through December 31, 2025; the delayed rule starts January 1, 2026 .
