Joe Fiandra Access to Home Infusion Act of 2025
Summary
This bill would amend Medicare to cover external infusion pumps and certain non-self-administered medications for home infusion therapy. Under the proposal, Medicare would cover these devices and drugs if they meet specific criteria: the medication must require administration by a healthcare professional, and must be infused at least 12 times per year or at infusion rates requiring an external pump. The bill would take effect one year after enactment.
The legislation aims to help Medicare beneficiaries receive necessary medications at home rather than in clinical settings, potentially improving convenience and quality of life for patients with chronic conditions requiring ongoing infusion therapy. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to inform patients about cost-sharing differences between home infusion and other care settings, promoting transparency in treatment decisions. The bill has passed committee review with bipartisan support and is eligible for a floor vote.
