Permanent waiver on prescription drug delivery clears House | Tennessee
SUMMARY: The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Seniors’ Access to Critical Medications Act of 2024, sponsored by Rep. Diana Harshbarger from Tennessee. This legislation restores mail delivery of prescribed drugs for Medicare beneficiaries, addressing obstacles that arose after COVID-19 modifications to the Stark Law, which restricted mail delivery and caregiver pickup of prescriptions. Harshbarger highlighted the challenges faced by Medicare seniors, particularly in rural areas, who struggle to access necessary medications. The bill aims to improve timely access to critical medications for patients, including cancer patients, and has bipartisan support with 69 co-sponsors. It’s now under review in the Senate.
