Free Preventive and Social Support Services via Community Health Workers in Medicare.
This bill integrates services provided by Community Health Workers (CHWs) into Medicare and Medicaid starting January 1, 2025. For Medicare beneficiaries, this means access to free preventive care and social support services, as the deductible requirement is waived. States are also financially incentivized with increased federal funding to adopt similar coverage under Medicaid.
Key points
Medicare (Part B) will cover community health services, including preventive care and support for chronic conditions, with no deductible for beneficiaries.
Services include addressing social factors affecting health, such as linking individuals to resources for food, housing, employment, and transportation.
States receive a 6% increase in federal funding if they choose to cover these CHW services under Medicaid, aiming to improve access for low-income populations.
