Faster Medicare Coverage for Critical Breakthrough Medical Devices.
This bill ensures that new, innovative medical devices designated as "breakthrough" will automatically receive Medicare coverage for a 4-year period. This means seniors and disabled individuals relying on Medicare will gain significantly faster access to the latest treatment technologies. During this temporary period, the government must finalize a decision on permanent coverage for the device.
Key points
Medicare must provide automatic 4-year coverage for newly approved "breakthrough" medical devices.
Medicare beneficiaries will get quicker access to advanced treatment technologies without long administrative delays.
The law requires a final decision on permanent coverage to be made before the 4-year temporary coverage period ends.
