Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025

# Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would adjust Medicare reimbursement rates for portable ultrasound services. Portable ultrasounds are smaller, mobile imaging devices that can be brought to patients' locations (like hospitals, nursing homes, or home visits) rather than requiring patients to travel to imaging centers. The bill aims to ensure that healthcare providers receive fair payment for these services under Medicare, the federal health insurance program for seniors and certain disabled individuals. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects Medicare beneficiaries (people 65+ and some younger disabled individuals) and the healthcare providers who perform ultrasound services, including hospitals, clinics, and individual practitioners.

It could influence how portable ultrasound services are covered and how accessible they are to patients. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the Senate in March 2025 and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. No specific provisions or payment rate details are listed in the available information.
