Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act of 2025

This bill would require the federal health department to run outreach and education telling people on or applying for Medicare that they can authorize a family caregiver to get their personal health information through 1-800-MEDICARE by submitting a specific form (CMS-10106). The information and form would be shared through the annual Medicare notice, Medicare.gov, Medicare Advantage outreach, and other platforms, and in non-English languages. Within one year, the department's Inspector General would have to publish best practices to protect beneficiaries from fraud involving their health information. The department would also train 1-800-MEDICARE operators to help caregivers and collect caregiver feedback, such as through surveys.
