NEW Video Breakdown of the Health Tech Investment Act
What is the Health Tech Investment Act, and why does it matter to patients across the country? This bipartisan legislation aims to modernize how Medicare covers breakthrough AI-enabled medical technologies, so patients can access the tools they need when they need them.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) integrated in medical devices has the potential to help improve early detection or support more effective treatment for patients. Unfortunately, how these technologies are paid for is often unclear, leading to delays or limiting overall access.
The Health Tech Investment Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, would address this by creating a clear pathway for AI-enabled medical technologies to receive Medicare coverage, significantly expanding access for patients and providers. A new video from AdvaMed and Patients Rising explains exactly how this legislation works.
By reducing uncertainty and expanding access to medical technologies, the Health Tech Investment Act would ensure patients can benefit from innovations that improve their care.
