MAP for Care Act
This bill establishes a Medicare Advance Directive Certification Program to help Medicare beneficiaries create and manage legally recognized advance directives that outline their medical care preferences. The program would require participating vendors to meet strict accreditation standards for security, privacy, and accessibility while allowing beneficiaries to voluntarily enroll and update their documents online. Key provisions include mandatory notifications to Medicare enrollees, federal oversight of vendor compliance, and the availability of state-compliant advance directive forms on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website. The legislation does not preempt state laws and ensures that certified directives remain accessible to healthcare providers and designated family members when needed.
