Philippine Medicare Portability Study Act
HR 7442 directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study whether Medicare could cover medical services provided in the Philippines for beneficiaries already enrolled in Medicare Part B or Part C. The study must analyze potential cost savings compared to U.S. care (2025-2034) and identify required legislative/administrative changes to expand coverage. This bill only authorizes a study and does not change current Medicare benefits or eligibility.
