Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act of 2025

This bill would require the federal health department to run outreach and education telling people with Medicare, and people applying for it, that they can sign a form letting a family caregiver get their personal health information by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. The information and the authorization form would be included in the annual Medicare notice, on Medicare.gov, and through outreach to Medicare Advantage enrollees. Within one year, the department's Inspector General would have to publish best practices for protecting beneficiaries from fraud involving their health information. The bill would also require training for 1-800-MEDICARE operators, feedback surveys for caregivers, and materials in languages other than English.
