Ensuring Patient Access to Critical Breakthrough Products Act

United States · United States Congress · 15 September 2025

Ensuring Patient Access to Critical Breakthrough Products Act This bill provides for Medicare coverage of medical devices that are approved under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Devices Program.

The bill allows designated medical breakthrough devices to be temporarily covered under Medicare during a four-year transitional period. Manufacturers must apply to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to receive this designation. Qualifying devices must (1) have received priority review from the FDA, (2) received premarket approval (if applicable) based on clinical data that includes data from Medicare beneficiaries, (3) already generally qualify for Medicare coverage, and (4) not present an undue risk of harm that outweighs potential clinical benefits for Medicare beneficiaries. The CMS must approve or deny applications within six months of receipt and must provide an explanation in the case of a denial. In addition, the CMS must make permanent coverage decisions before the end of the transitional period upon a timely request to do so, as specified. The bill provides funds through FY2030 for the CMS to implement the bill.

Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act

United States · United States Congress · 15 September 2025

Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act This bill delays certain requirements relating to the reporting of quality measures by accountable care organizations (ACOs) under the Medicare Shared Savings Program. It also requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish a pilot program that tests alternative digital reporting methods for ACOs. The Medicare Shared Savings Program enables ACOs to receive payments for savings stemming from care coordination and management. In 2024, the CMS issued a rule requiring ACOs to report on quality measures using a certain electronic system beginning in 2025.  The bill allows ACOs to continue to use prior methods of reporting quality measures through 2029. Additionally, the CMS must establish a pilot program to test other digital reporting methods from 2028-2032; ACOs that participate in the pilot program are exempt from using other methods. The CMS must publicly post an analysis of the program and any related recommendations for using the tested methods.
