Bill overview
The Improving Access to Advance Care Planning Act aims to make advance care planning services more accessible and affordable for Medicare beneficiaries. It expands Medicare coverage to include discussions about health care preferences and future decisions, and it removes cost-sharing for these services. The bill also encourages payment for these services and streamlines telehealth access to them, while requiring outreach to healthcare providers and a study by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to assess the program’s effectiveness.
