Plain-English Summary
Medicare would be required to cover orthotics and prosthetics (artificial limbs and supportive devices) based on what doctors determine patients need, rather than applying strict cost limits that might prevent people from getting necessary equipment. This change would affect Medicare beneficiaries who need these devices to maintain mobility and independence, as well as the companies that manufacture and supply them. The goal is to ensure that seniors and disabled individuals can access the devices their doctors recommend without being denied coverage due to budget restrictions.
