The Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2024 (S. 4137) proposes a sensible change to Medicare coverage rules. Currently, Medicare covers skilled nursing facility care only after a qualifying inpatient hospital stay of at least 3 days. This bill would allow time spent under outpatient observation in a hospital to count towards that 3-day requirement. This common sense reform would expand access to skilled nursing care that seniors need after a hospital stay. With our rapidly aging population, ensuring Medicare covers necessary care in the appropriate setting is crucial. I urge you to support this bill to improve Medicare coverage and help seniors access the post-acute care services they require.
