Summary
The Preventive Home Visit Act (S. 2175) would expand Medicare coverage to include a voluntary home safety and health assessment every two years. During these visits, a health professional would evaluate a senior’s living environment to identify risks and provide recommendations for fall prevention, physical activity, and nutrition. The goal of the legislation is to help older Americans live independently for longer by addressing potential health hazards in the home before they lead to serious injuries or hospitalizations.
