S.2865

The bill aims to improve access to advance care planning services under Medicare.

The Improving Access to Advance Care Planning Act seeks to enhance Medicare coverage for advance care planning services. It defines these services as discussions about an individual's health care preferences and future decisions, facilitated by eligible practitioners. The bill mandates outreach to Medicare providers to educate them about these services and their billing requirements. It also removes cost-sharing responsibilities for these services and allows their provision through telehealth.
