What it does
The bill amends the Social Security Act to update utilization requirements for physician assistants and nurse practitioners in rural healthcare facilities by allowing these providers to deliver services under arrangements consistent with state law, without requiring direct physician supervision in non-physician-directed clinics. It affects Medicare-covered services provided in such facilities, aiming to modernize how these healthcare professionals are utilized under federal reimbursement rules. The changes would take effect on January 1, 2027, applying to services furnished on or after that date.
