Medicare beneficiaries would get faster access to new breakthrough medical devices.
This bill would give people on Medicare faster access to new medical devices designated as 'breakthroughs' by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It would create a 4-year period where Medicare would automatically cover these devices, allowing patients to use important new treatments sooner while long-term coverage is decided.
Today, new medical devices often face a lengthy process to get Medicare coverage, which can delay patients from accessing important new treatments. If this bill becomes law, Medicare would automatically cover devices that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) designates as 'breakthrough devices' for a 4-year period. This would allow patients faster access while Medicare decides on permanent coverage.
