Bill > S3481

This bill aims to expand and expedite access to cardiac rehabilitation programs and pulmonary rehabilitation programs under the Medicare program. Specifically, it would allow these programs to be provided in the office setting, and it would allow physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists to prescribe the exercise and provide the oversight for these programs, in addition to physicians. The bill's amendments would apply to items and services furnished six months after the date of enactment.
