On December 1, the House of Representatives passed the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act (H.R. 4313), as amended, a bipartisan bill that would extend the Medicare hospital at home program for five years to enable hospitals to provide acute inpatient care while they remain in their homes through the use of telehealth and remote monitoring. The program currently expires along with other extenders on January 30, 2026. This legislation, if passed by the Senate, would extend the program through September 30, 2030.
