This bill lets Medicare pay rural health clinics for annual wellness visits when a licensed registered nurse provides them. It also covers the “personalized prevention plan” that comes with these visits, and related services done under the nurse’s care, the same as if a doctor provided them. The goal is to make it easier for people in rural areas to get their yearly checkups and preventive care without always needing a doctor on-site.

Key points

Who is affected: Medicare patients in rural areas, rural health clinics, and registered nurses.
What changes: Medicare will cover annual wellness visits and prevention plans when done by a registered nurse, including related “incident-to” services as if done by a physician.
When: Applies to services on or after the date it becomes law.
