HR 2853 United States House · 118th Congress

Expanding Care in the Home Act

The Expanding Care in the Home Act establishes new payment models for Medicare home-based care services. It would allow primary care providers to receive monthly capitated payments instead of fee-for-service, expand coverage for home infusion therapy and staff-assisted home dialysis, and create new reimbursement for in-home lab tests and advanced diagnostic imaging. The bill also establishes coverage for personal care services (up to 12 hours weekly) and funds workforce development programs for home-based care providers. These changes would directly affect Medicare beneficiaries needing home care and the healthcare providers who deliver those services. The legislation aims to improve access to coordinated care in home settings through new payment structures and expanded service coverage.
