Medicare payment change for home dialysis
If enacted, this bill would change how Medicare pays for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) that doctors give to people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who do dialysis at home. Starting January 1, 2028, Medicare would pay for those RPM services under the Medicare physician payment rules in section 1848. The bill does not set payment rates or dollar amounts. That payment shift would change how doctors bill and how much they get paid, and it would affect patients' access to remote monitoring.
