116th Congress

To provide for health equity and access for returning troops and servicemembers, to provide for ambulatory surgical payment transparency under the Medicare program, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Terri Sewell — D — AL

Modifies the rules under which TRICARE (the health benefits plan for members of the armed forces, their families, retirees, and some survivors and former spouses) coordinates with Medicare. The bill also would add the DNA provenance assay for prostate cancer to the list of Medicare-covered services, and provide for deposits into the Medicare Improvement Fund. Other provisions would change Medicare’s payments for some durable medical equipment and change supervision requirements for certain services.
