Excluding Abortion Drug Providers from Medicare Program
This bill aims to exclude providers of abortion-inducing drugs from the Medicare program unless they meet specific conditions, such as an in-person examination by a physician. This could limit access to these services under Medicare, affecting healthcare choices and costs for some citizens.
Key points
Providers of abortion-inducing drugs may be permanently excluded from Medicare if they do not meet in-person examination and physician presence requirements.
Physicians must physically examine the patient, be present when the drug is administered, and schedule an in-person follow-up visit within 14 days.
The definition of an abortion-inducing drug includes any substance intended to terminate a clinically diagnosable pregnancy with reasonable likelihood of causing the death of an unborn child.
