What This Bill Does
This bill provides for coverage of dental, hearing, and vision care under Medicare.
Specifically, the bill provides for coverage of
- dental and oral health services, including cleanings, treatments, and dentures;
- hearing aids and related services, including aural rehabilitation services; and
- vision services, including routine eye exams and eyeglasses.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must set a fee schedule for dental and oral health services based on the national median fees for similar services, and it must phase in adjustments to premiums for Medicare medical services to account for coverage of dental and oral health services over a three-year period beginning in 2028. Payment to providers of hearing aid services must be made on an assignment-related basis; payment to providers of vision services must be made under the physician fee schedule.
The bill provides funds for FY2025 for the CMS to implement the bill's changes.
