S 2829 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Preventive Home Visit Act

This bill adds Medicare coverage for "preventive home visits" to assess home safety and health risks for eligible beneficiaries. It requires Medicare to pay 100% of the cost for these visits - conducted by qualified professionals at least once every two years - to identify fall risks, improve mobility, and provide referrals for home modifications or nutrition support. The visits can be in-person, remote, or combined, and must focus on reducing physical risks like falls. The policy applies to Medicare beneficiaries starting January 1, 2027, and defines specific visit requirements in Medicare law.
