HR 5394 United States House · 118th Congress

Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act

This bill changes Medicare billing rules to make remote patient monitoring more accessible. It requires Medicare to cover remote monitoring services with a minimum of 2 days of patient data collected over a 30-day period (instead of the current 16 days), affecting Medicare beneficiaries and healthcare providers. The policy applies to all patients, not just those with COVID-19, and is effective for two years after enactment. The bill also mandates a report to Congress within one year analyzing remote monitoring data and recommending future reimbursement models based on patient needs.
