AI Summary
This bill, the Survival Aid For Emergencies through Medicare Act (or SAFE through Medicare Act), would amend the Social Security Act to provide coverage of medically necessary "home resiliency services" under Medicare. These services are defined as items and equipment, such as heat pumps, solar batteries, and energy-efficient cold storage, that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines are medically necessary for individuals who are at risk of health complications due to climate or man-made disasters, based on factors like geographic climate risks, regional disaster history, medical equipment needs, and chronic health conditions. The bill also establishes that Medicare will cover 100% of the cost of these home resiliency services.
