Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends Medicare (title XVIII of the Social Security Act) to cover advance care planning services without cost-sharing for beneficiaries. Eligible practitioners—including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and certain clinical social workers—may provide these services to discuss patients' health care preferences, future medical decisions, and advance directives. Medicare will cover 100 percent of the cost starting January 1, 2026, with no deductible or coinsurance applied. The bill also requires HHS to conduct provider outreach and directs the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to study the furnishing and billing of these services.
