Preserving Patient Access to Home Infusion Act

# Preserving Patient Access to Home Infusion Act (HR 2172) Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill aims to protect patients' ability to receive intravenous (IV) infusion treatments at home rather than in hospitals or clinics. Home infusion therapy—used for medications, nutrition, antibiotics, and other treatments—can be more convenient and cost-effective for patients with chronic conditions. The legislation would establish protections to ensure patients can continue accessing these services and that home infusion providers can operate without unnecessary regulatory barriers. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts patients with chronic illnesses or conditions requiring ongoing IV treatments, as well as home infusion providers and healthcare companies that deliver these services.

Insurance companies and healthcare systems may also be affected by any changes to coverage or operational requirements. **Current Status:** HR 2172 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full House vote. No further action has been taken on the bill at this time. Committee members will review the proposal before deciding whether to recommend it for consideration by the full House of Representatives.
