Plain-English Summary

Medicare would be required to include screening for cognitive impairment (like memory loss or confusion) as part of the free annual wellness visits and initial physical exams that seniors already receive. This change would help doctors catch early signs of conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's disease so patients can get treatment sooner. The screening would be added to existing Medicare benefits at no additional cost to beneficiaries.
