Preventive Home Visit Act

This bill adds Medicare coverage for preventive home visits to assess safety risks and health needs. It defines a "preventive home visit" as an in-person, remote, or hybrid assessment by a qualified professional, conducted no more frequently than once every two years, focusing on fall prevention, home modifications, and nutrition referrals. Medicare will cover 100% of the cost for these visits starting January 1, 2025, using a bundled payment system. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries, particularly older adults at risk of falls or home safety issues, by expanding access to non-clinical preventive services.
