Bill 118 hr 6794, also known as the Medicare Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration Extension Act, aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act in order to extend the Medicare Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration Program. This program allows certain Medicare beneficiaries to receive medical care in the comfort of their own homes, rather than in a traditional healthcare setting.
The bill seeks to extend this program, which has shown promising results in improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. By allowing patients to receive care at home, they may experience better health outcomes and a higher quality of life. Additionally, this program has the potential to reduce hospital readmissions and emergency room visits, ultimately saving money for both patients and the healthcare system as a whole.
Overall, the Medicare Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration Extension Act aims to continue providing Medicare beneficiaries with the option to receive care at home, promoting independence and improving overall health outcomes.
