Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2024
This bill amends Medicare rules to ensure portable ultrasound services receive the same reimbursement treatment as portable X-ray services. It requires Medicare to provide separate payments for portable ultrasound transportation and setup services starting January 1, 2026, mirroring the current payment structure for portable X-ray services. The law directly affects Medicare beneficiaries needing these services and healthcare providers who supply them. Key provisions specify that payment requirements for ultrasound services must be substantially similar to existing regulations for portable X-ray suppliers under federal law.
