Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill amends the Social Security Act to let Medicare cover and pay separately for palliative dialysis services provided to people with end‑stage renal disease who choose hospice care. It defines who is eligible, sets a default limit of ten dialysis sessions per year (which the Secretary can adjust later), and applies the usual deductible and coinsurance rules. This ensures hospice patients can receive comfort‑focused dialysis without losing hospice benefits.
