Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill establishes a 6-year pilot program under Medicare Part A in which selected hospitals provide medically tailored home-delivered meals to qualifying patients to improve health outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions. Participating hospitals must screen inpatients for diet-impacted conditions, provide at least 2 meals daily for 12-week periods, and deliver medical nutrition therapy. The program will be evaluated on clinical outcomes, readmission rates, and total costs, with payments funded through the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund and offset by reductions to hospital payments.
