## Summary

**Expands Medicare coverage so registered nurses can provide and be reimbursed for personalized prevention plan services during outpatient annual wellness visits at rural health clinics.** It would let those services and related supplies be covered to the same extent as if a physician furnished them or as incident to a physician's service. - Rural beneficiaries: Rural Medicare patients could receive annual wellness visits and personalized prevention plans from a licensed registered nurse at a rural health clinic, improving local access to preventive care. - Registered nurses and rural clinics: Licensed RNs could furnish personalized prevention plan services and have the services and related supplies covered when provided "incident to" their care, giving clinics more flexibility to use nurses for prevention services. - Medicare coverage rules: The bill would treat nurse-delivered personalized prevention plan services the same as physician-delivered ones in rural health clinics, using the PPP definition in section 1861(hhh)(1). It would apply to items and services furnished on or after the date of enactment.
