Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act

This bill changes Medicare billing rules for remote monitoring services, allowing providers to bill for a minimum of 2 days of patient data collected over a 30-day period instead of the current 16 days. It directly affects Medicare patients with chronic conditions (like diabetes, heart failure, or post-surgery recovery) and healthcare providers who use remote monitoring tools. The key provision eliminates the 16-day requirement for all patients - not just during the pandemic - based on clinical evidence showing shorter monitoring periods are sufficient for many conditions. The bill also requires a report to Congress within one year analyzing the impact and recommending future reimbursement models. This aims to reduce administrative barriers while maintaining coverage for clinically appropriate remote monitoring.
