Seniors’ Access to Critical Medications Act of 2023

This bill amends Medicare rules to clarify that doctors can provide certain drugs and necessary supplies during office visits without meeting an additional administrative requirement. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries (primarily seniors), doctors, and pharmacies by simplifying access to critical medications during appointments. The key change removes a specific condition requiring drugs to be furnished "in accordance with subparagraph (A)(ii)" for the self-referral exception to apply. The bill also requires the removal of conflicting Medicare guidance published in 2021 and 2023 to ensure the rule change is implemented clearly.
