Facilitating Access to Innovation in Cancer Care Act ensures equitable payment for cancer treatments under Medicare.
The Facilitating Access to Innovation in Cancer Care Act amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure equitable payment for, and preserve Medicare beneficiary access to, cancer treatments under the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system. It mandates separate payment for specified cancer treatments, ensuring they are not packaged into a payment for a covered outpatient department service. The bill sets a threshold for these treatments and ensures budget neutrality by adjusting expenditures accordingly.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
