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.
