This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create guidance by January 1, 2026, about how Medicare will pay for certain medical devices that use artificial intelligence technology. Specifically, it focuses on remote monitoring devices like continuous glucose monitors that can continuously adjust their function using AI and send information to healthcare providers for patient treatment and management. The legislation affects Medicare beneficiaries who use these types of AI-enabled monitoring devices, as well as healthcare providers and device manufacturers. The guidance must be issued using existing communication channels within the Medicare system, and the bill does not specify any new funding, instead requiring the use of existing resources and mechanisms already available to the Health and Human Services Department.
