Medicare would cover home infusion pumps and drugs needing professional administration if given by a qualified provider.
45-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill lets Medicare cover home infusion equipment and drugs even when a health care professional must give or supervise the drug, as long as a qualified home infusion provider handles it safely. The drug must be infused at least 12 times a year via IV, under the skin, or at a pump-controlled rate. HHS would also need to ensure patients are told about cost differences between home and other treatment settings.
Who does it affect?
This affects Medicare beneficiaries needing regular infusion treatments, including those with chronic illnesses, immune disorders, or infections requiring long-term IV medication. It also affects home infusion therapy companies and health care professionals providing these services.
Why does it matter?
More patients could qualify for home-based infusion coverage instead of receiving treatment in a hospital or clinic setting. This shifts where and how infusion therapy services are delivered and paid for under Medicare.
