Introduced 2025-12-18Topic: health careSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes Medicare rules for cardiac (heart) rehabilitation and pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation programs. It would allow physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists, in addition to physicians, to prescribe exercise in these programs and to fill other roles that current law gives only to physicians. It also changes the place where cardiac rehabilitation may be provided from "a physician's office" to "the office setting." The changes would apply to services provided starting 6 months after the bill becomes law.
