RPM Cost Sharing Elimination Study Act of 2023

HR 6801, the RPM Cost Sharing Elimination Study Act of 2023, eliminates cost-sharing (like copays) for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) services under Medicare. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries who use RPM devices (e.g., for heart or diabetes monitoring) by making these services 100% covered under both Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans starting January 1, 2024. The bill requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to report by June 2026 on how eliminating cost-sharing impacted patient health outcomes and Medicare costs. This is a temporary measure (2024-2025) designed to study the effects before potential permanent changes.
