Bill overview
The MERIT Act changes how Medicare determines whether certain drugs and biologics are covered. Currently, Medicare can make coverage decisions based on a group of similar drugs. This bill requires Medicare to evaluate each drug or biologic individually, ensuring a more focused review of its appropriateness and necessity. This aims to provide clearer and more specific coverage decisions for patients.
