Summary
The bill amends the Social Security Act to let Medicare pay for medically necessary home resiliency services, such as heat pumps or solar batteries, for people who could be harmed by climate or man‑made disasters. It creates a process to identify those at‑risk individuals and sets payment at 100% of the lower of actual cost or a fee schedule. This aims to protect vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries from health threats caused by extreme weather and power outages.
