KIDNEY Remote Monitoring Act
The KIDNEY Remote Monitoring Act (H.R. 8319) aims to ensure Medicare payment for remote physiologic monitoring services provided to individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who receive home dialysis. The bill amends the Social Security Act to direct that these monitoring services, when furnished by a physician, will be paid for under Medicare Part B. This change would take effect for services provided on or after January 1, 2028, aligning their payment with the standard fee schedule for physician services.
