Bill overview
This bill, the Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly Act (SAFE Act), aims to improve fall prevention and care for older adults enrolled in Medicare. It expands the scope of annual wellness visits and initial preventive physical exams to include falls risk assessments and fall prevention services provided by physical therapists and occupational therapists, particularly for individuals who have fallen in the past year. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to report annually on falls experienced by older adults.
