A BILL To amend title XVIII to provide for certain Medigap cov- erage for Medicare beneficiaries with end-stage renal dis- ease, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Jack Reynolds Memory Medigap Expansion Act, aims to provide certain Medigap coverage for Medicare beneficiaries with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The key provisions are:
1. Guaranteed availability of Medigap policies to all ESRD Medicare beneficiaries, regardless of age, allowing those under 65 with ESRD to enroll in Medigap policies.
2. A one-time enrollment period from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, for individuals with ESRD who are enrolled in Medicare Part B but would not otherwise be eligible for the guaranteed issue of a Medigap policy.
3. An extension of the coordination period for individuals with ESRD from 12 months to 42 months, allowing them to retain access to private insurance for a longer period.
The bill aims to improve access to Medigap coverage for Medicare beneficiaries with ESRD, ensuring they have the same options as those 65 and older.
