Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act

Extends temporary waiver flexibilities that allow certain acute hospital services to be delivered in patients’ homes under the Medicare ‘Hospital at Home’ framework by amending the Social Security Act provision governing those waivers. It also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study comparing Hospital at Home care with traditional inpatient care on care quality, costs, patient experience, and patient characteristics, and to deliver a report to congressional committees by September 30, 2028.
