S 4358

This bill, the SAFE through Medicare Act, aims to expand Medicare coverage to include medically necessary home resiliency services for beneficiaries who are identified as ‘medically at-risk’ during climate or manmade disasters. Specifically, it would cover services like heat pumps, battery backups for medical equipment, and energy-efficient storage for medications, ensuring vulnerable individuals have access to essential resources during emergencies. The bill establishes a process for determining who is considered medically at-risk and outlines payment rates for these services.
