Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The RNs for Rural Health Act of 2025 expands Medicare coverage for annual wellness visits at rural health clinics by allowing registered nurses to provide these services in addition to physicians. Currently, Medicare covers wellness visits at rural clinics, but this bill explicitly authorizes registered nurses licensed in their state to deliver personalized prevention plan services and related supplies, giving rural patients more options for accessing preventive care. The bill affects Medicare beneficiaries in rural areas and rural health clinics across the country by potentially increasing their access to preventive services without traveling to see a physician. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon enactment and requires no new federal funding, as it works within the existing Medicare reimbursement system.
