Medicare Home Health Accessibility Act

This bill amends Medicare eligibility rules to clarify that beneficiaries needing occupational therapy *or* speech therapy qualify for home health services. It updates two sections of the Social Security Act (Parts A and B) to replace "need occupational therapy or speech therapy" with "need occupational, or speech therapy," ensuring both therapies are explicitly covered. The change directly affects Medicare beneficiaries requiring either therapy for home-based care, removing potential confusion about eligibility. The updated rules will take effect for services provided on or after January 1, 2026.
