HR-3032 — Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

Your MoneyCorporate BenefitsTransparency & Accountability

Medicare would pay for at-home health monitoring after 2 days of data instead of 16 — for two years.

Your Money

Medicare coverage of at-home health monitoring — 2 days of data, not 16

Today a provider must gather 16 days of data in a 30-day period to bill Medicare for it. Shorter check-ins would be paid for, so more of this care would be covered.

Corporate Benefits

Medicare billing for monitoring providers — shorter check-ins can be billed

Doctors, clinics, and device makers could bill Medicare for many more patients. Right now the 16-day rule blocks billing for shorter check-ins.

Transparency & Accountability

Built-in end date — the new rule would stop after two years

The wider coverage would not be permanent. It would apply only to services given in the two years after the bill becomes law, so Congress would have to act again to keep it.

More about this bill

Medicare pays for remote monitoring, which uses devices that send your health data to your doctor between visits. Today a provider must collect 16 days of data in a 30-day stretch to bill Medicare for it. That floor would drop to 2 days. A few days of blood-pressure or heart readings would be enough. The 2-day rule exists now, but only for patients who have or may have COVID-19. That limit would go away. The new rule would start when the bill becomes law and run for two years. Medicare would owe Congress a report within one year on how it worked.

Congressional Summary

Expanding Remote Monitoring Access ActThis bill establishes requirements for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with respect to coverage of remote monitoring services under Medicare. Remote monitoring services generally refers to the management and monitoring of a patient's health via remote data collection, such as through medical devices.Specifically, the CMS must ensure that, for the two years following this bill's enactment, coverage of these services allows for a minimum of two days of data collection over a 30-day period, regardless of whether the individual has or is suspected of having COVID-19. (The CMS temporarily authorized coverage for 2 days of data collection, rather than the normally required 16 days, during the COVID-19 public health emergency.) The CMS must report on implementation and related information, including potential coverage variations and requirements for providers that utilize these services.
