Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends Medicare law to allow beneficiaries to qualify for home health services based solely on a need for occupational therapy, rather than requiring a prior need for skilled nursing care, physical therapy, or speech therapy. Currently, Medicare home health coverage requires that a patient need one of these services and be homebound; the bill removes occupational therapy from a secondary requirement and makes it an independent qualifying condition. The change takes effect January 1, 2025.
