Medicare home infusion bills introduced in Congress

Bills were recently introduced in the House and Senate that would provide for Medicare coverage of home infusion therapy, including for biologic treatments like Remicade (infliximab) used for, among other things, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The House bill, H.R. 2567, was introduced by Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, and the Senate bill, S. 870, by Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia.

We don't know yet whether these bills are likely to become law (the same bill would have to pass the House and Senate and be signed into law by the President), but we'll keep you posted.
