S 3766 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act of 2024

This bill allows Medicare beneficiaries to authorize family caregivers to access their personal health information through Medicare's 1-800-MEDICARE line by completing a specific form (CMS-10106). It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries (enrolled in Part A, Part B, or Medicare Advantage plans) and their family caregivers. Key provisions require Medicare to provide clear outreach via websites, notices, and call center training, include the authorization form prominently, and share fraud protection best practices. The bill also mandates multilingual access and feedback opportunities for caregivers, without changing Medicare benefits or costs.
