Connecting Caregivers to Medicare Act of 2025

This bill requires Medicare to simplify access for family caregivers to beneficiaries' health information. It mandates that Medicare create a new authorization form (CMS-10106) allowing beneficiaries to grant caregivers access to their personal health data via 1-800-MEDICARE. The law also directs Medicare to provide clear outreach through notices, websites, and provider channels, including multilingual materials and training for call center staff. It requires the Secretary to develop fraud protection best practices within one year and ensure all Medicare beneficiaries - regardless of plan type - can authorize caregiver access.
