AI Summary

This bill, the Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2022, aims to provide coverage and payment for prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. PDTs are defined as FDA-cleared or approved software-based products that are used to prevent, manage, or treat medical conditions. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a payment methodology for PDTs covered under Medicare and to create product-specific billing codes for them. Manufacturers of PDTs must report payment rates, distribution volumes, and user numbers to the Secretary annually. The bill also amends Medicaid law to include coverage for PDTs.
