AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes how Medicare pays physicians for remote physiologic monitoring services given to people with end stage renal disease (kidney failure) who receive dialysis at home. Starting January 1, 2028, Medicare would pay for these services under the physician fee schedule in section 1848 of the Social Security Act. It does this by adding a new subparagraph to the section of the law that covers Medicare payment for kidney disease services.
