Bill 119 s 248, also known as the "In-Home Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Flexibilities Extension Act," aims to make permanent certain flexibilities related to in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation that were established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill seeks to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure that individuals have continued access to these important services.
The legislation recognizes the importance of in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with heart and lung conditions, especially during times of public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. By making these flexibilities permanent, the bill aims to ensure that patients can continue to receive the care they need in the comfort and safety of their own homes.
In addition to extending these flexibilities, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to improving access to and quality of care for individuals with cardiopulmonary conditions. The specifics of these provisions are not detailed in the summary, but they are intended to further support patients in need of these services.
Overall, Bill 119 s 248 is focused on ensuring that individuals have continued access to in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation services, even beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. By making these flexibilities permanent, the bill aims to improve the health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with heart and lung conditions.
