## Summary

**Creates a manufacturer-triggered process to set Medicare physician fee schedule payment values (RVUs) for qualifying pediatric medical technologies.** It would require the Health and Human Services Secretary to establish national RVUs when no RVU exists and a manufacturer submits supporting data. - Families and children: For technologies furnished on or after Jan 1, 2026, national RVUs could be set, making Medicare payment values available for pediatric-specific devices. This pricing step does not require Medicare to cover the device under existing coverage rules. - Manufacturers: Can request RVU establishment by sending a written submission with data such as contractor pricing, claims, time-and-motion studies, or invoices. Requests received by May 1 are considered in that year’s physician fee schedule rulemaking; later requests roll into the next year. - Providers and Medicare payments: The Secretary would determine RVUs using the physician fee schedule’s established payment methodology and available data. RVU implementation is done through the annual physician fee schedule rulemaking process.
