AI Summary
This bill, the Concentrating on High-value Alzheimer's Needs to Get to an End Act of 2023 (CHANGE Act of 2023), amends the Social Security Act to require the detection of cognitive impairment as part of the Medicare annual wellness visit and initial preventive physical examination. Specifically, the bill mandates the use of cognitive impairment detection tools identified by the National Institute on Aging to be performed during these visits, with the results documented in the patient's medical record. This aims to enable early diagnosis and access to care planning services, treatments, and clinical trials for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, which currently affects over 6.7 million Americans and disproportionately impacts certain racial and gender groups.
