Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Medicare patients who get IV medicine at home, the companies and pharmacies that provide that care, and the clinicians who manage care plans. Patients could see changes in whether home infusion care is available and how it is organized. Providers and pharmacies would face new payment and billing rules.

Why this matters: Home infusion care can let Medicare patients get IV treatment at home instead of traveling for care. This bill could make that care easier for providers to offer by paying for more of the work involved. It could also change provider payments and Medicare costs. The final effect would depend on how Medicare sets payment amounts and how providers react.

Key provisions in H.R. 2172

• Medicare would cover pharmacy work as part of home infusion therapy. That includes patient checks, drug preparation or mixing, and care-plan coordination and records.
• A treatment day would count for payment whenever the home infusion drug is given at home. The supplier would not have to be physically there that day.
• For 2026 through 2029, Medicare would use 5 hours of infusion per day in the payment formula. This applies to a specific therapy on a calendar day.
• Medicare would pay less when the supplier is not in the home. The payment would be 50% of what Medicare would pay if the supplier were there.
• Nurse practitioners and physician assistants could manage home infusion care plans too. They could create and regularly review those plans, along with doctors.
