Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08), and Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) have introduced the Saving Seniors from COVID-19 Costs Act (HR 6727). The Saving Seniors from COVID-19 Costs Act will ensure Medicare beneficiaries can access COVID-19 care at no cost.

Older adults are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19,” said Rep. Schrier. “We know this disease can quickly become serious, and nobody should have to delay necessary care because they are worried about cost. This bill will make that a reality for Medicare beneficiaries.”

The Saving Seniors from COVID-19 Costs Act will direct $100 million to establish zero cost-sharing for COVID-19 treatment under Medicare Parts A and B. This will give our most vulnerable populations access to life-saving care as we fight against COVID-19

“Costly medical bills should never get in the way of much-needed care to combat COVID-19, especially for vulnerable populations like older Americans. Seniors are particularly susceptible to the coronavirus and we must provide the resources and care they need to stay healthy during this pandemic. The Saving Seniors from COVID-19 Costs Act will go a long way towards connecting Medicare beneficiaries with the COVID-19 treatment they deserve,” said Rep. McEachin.
