New Medicare Rule
for Breakthrough Medical Devices
|
| |
Welcome to this week's Medigap Life Newsletter
|
| |
On Jan. 14, 2021, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule creating a new Medicare coverage and reimbursement pathway for “breakthrough” medical devices. Known as the Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technology (MCIT) pathway, this coverage mechanism provides national Medicare coverage for a period of four years after the date of FDA approval. The final rule is effective March 1, 2021.

Medicare Advantage: New Meal Delivery Coverage
|
| |
|
|
|
Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) generally doesn’t pay for meal delivery service. Medicare Part B (medical insurance) typically does not include home delivered meals or personal care as part of its home health service coverage. However, some Medicare Advantage plans may cover meal delivery service and transportation for non-medical needs like grocery shopping.
Meal delivery service and Medicare Advantage plansMedicare Advantage plans are an alternative way of getting your Part A and Part B benefits. Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer other health-related benefits, like routine vision care and eyeglasses. Recent rule changes now let Medicare Advantage plans offer certain extra benefits, including such things as meal delivery services.What changed to allow meal delivery service?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated its rules about Medicare Advantage coverage. It used to be that if you have Medicare coverage, you had to meet stricter requirements to get meal delivery. Under the new rules, Medicare Advantage plans may now offer benefits for services such as healthy meal delivery in some cases.
