Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Medicare patients who need IV drugs at home, the suppliers who provide that care, and the clinicians who manage treatment plans. It also affects pharmacies that prepare and support home infusion drugs. Medicare would have to apply the new payment rules for services and items provided on or after January 1, 2026.
Why this matters: This bill could affect whether patients can get IV drug care at home instead of traveling to a clinic or hospital.

Key provisions in S. 1058
- Medicare would count pharmacy work as part of covered home infusion care. This includes patient checks, preparing and mixing drugs, care coordination, and records in the care plan.
- Medicare would pay for each day a home infusion drug is given at home. The supplier would not have to be physically there that day.
- From January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2029, Medicare would use a temporary payment rule. The standard amount would be based on five hours of infusion for each therapy each day.
- Medicare would pay less when the supplier is not in the home. On those days, payment would be 50% of what Medicare would pay if the supplier were there.
- Nurse practitioners and physician assistants could help manage home infusion care plans for Medicare patients. They could create the plan and review it from time to time, along with physicians.
