Bill overview
This bill, the Improving Access to Advance Care Planning Act, aims to make advance care planning services more accessible to Medicare beneficiaries. It expands Medicare coverage to include visits between healthcare professionals and individuals, family members, or designated surrogates to discuss healthcare preferences and advance directives. The bill also removes cost-sharing for these services starting in 2026 and includes provisions for outreach to healthcare providers and a study by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to assess the utilization and barriers to advance care planning under Medicare.
