Bill overview
The Improving Care and Access to Nurses Act (I CAN Act) aims to expand access to healthcare services by allowing advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists, to perform a wider range of Medicare and Medicaid services. Specifically, the bill removes barriers to APRN practice by modifying coverage requirements for diabetic shoes, streamlining cardiac rehabilitation programs, and clarifying reimbursement for APRN services. It also includes provisions to improve access to home infusion therapy, hospice care, and skilled nursing facility services, while addressing technical issues and promoting equitable access to care across different APRN specialties.
