HR 8261 United States House · 119th Congress

Chronic Care Management Improvement Act of 2026

HR 8261, the Chronic Care Management Improvement Act of 2026, aims to reduce healthcare costs for Medicare Part B beneficiaries receiving chronic care management services. Effective January 1, 2027, the bill mandates that Medicare will cover 100% of the cost for these specific services. This means individuals will no longer be responsible for any copayments or deductibles for chronic care management. The change directly affects Medicare Part B enrollees who utilize these services, making them more affordable by eliminating out-of-pocket costs.
