Eliminate the IPO List Act
This bill prohibits Medicare from using an "inpatient-only list" to restrict hospital services that could safely be provided in outpatient settings. It amends Medicare law to prevent the Secretary from refusing to classify a service as outpatient solely based on safety concerns typically requiring inpatient care. This change would allow more services to be offered in outpatient facilities, directly benefiting Medicare beneficiaries who gain expanded access to non-hospital care and hospitals that can deliver services more flexibly.
