H.R.10844

Amends Medicare to ensure equitable payments for services provided by mobile stroke units.

This bill amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure equitable payments for items and services furnished by mobile stroke units under the Medicare program. It defines the term "mobile stroke unit" and specifies that services provided by these units should be deemed as outpatient department services. The bill also increases the payment for certain items and services provided by mobile stroke units, particularly in rural areas or when the transport originated in a rural area. The changes are set to take effect from January 1, 2027.
