Access to Pediatric Technologies Act of 2025

This bill creates a process for establishing Medicare payment rates for pediatric-specific medical devices. It requires the Medicare program (via the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to set national payment rates (called "relative value units") for qualifying pediatric technologies upon manufacturer request, starting in 2026. A "qualifying pediatric technology" is defined as a covered medical device that is FDA-approved/cleared, has a temporary HCPCS code, and is either predominantly used for pediatric procedures or specifically designed for children. Manufacturers must submit detailed data with their requests, and the timeline for setting rates depends on when the request is received (by May 1 for same-year implementation). The bill does not mandate coverage but ensures payment mechanisms exist for these devices once approved.
