AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would add penicillin allergy verification and evaluation to the first "Welcome to Medicare" preventive physical exam and to the Medicare annual wellness visit. The evaluation would include identifying people who report a penicillin allergy, considering whether their past reaction fits an allergy or can be reevaluated, giving information about the effects of a penicillin allergy label, and referring them to an allergy or immunology specialist when appropriate. The bill states that it does not prohibit separate payment for structured penicillin allergy services given on the same day as these visits. The changes would apply to exams and visits on or after January 1, 2027.
