Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act

This bill makes permanent Medicare coverage for telehealth-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation services (including cardiac, intensive cardiac, and pulmonary rehab) provided in patients' homes. It removes geographic restrictions for these services after January 1, 2026, allowing Medicare to cover home-based telehealth visits for eligible patients. The law requires the Health Secretary to establish standards for home-based rehab programs by 2026. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries needing ongoing heart or lung rehabilitation, ensuring they can access these services remotely without location-based limitations. The bill codifies pandemic-era flexibilities into permanent policy for these specific healthcare programs.
