Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2023
This bill requires Medicare and Medicaid to cover prescription digital therapeutics - software-based treatments for medical conditions like diabetes or mental health disorders - starting January 1, 2024. It mandates Medicare to establish payment rates for manufacturers within one year and create specific billing codes within two years, with temporary codes used until permanent codes are set. Manufacturers must report annual data on pricing, usage, and discounts to Medicare, facing penalties of up to $10,000 per day for incomplete or false reports. The bill directly affects Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries, digital therapeutic companies, and the healthcare billing system by integrating these treatments into federal coverage.
