PhRMA submits comments to CMS on policy changes for in-home care under Part B during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a number of disruptions in our health care system, one of which is the ability for seniors to access their infused or injected Part B medicines normally administered in a physician office or hospital outpatient setting. Many seniors are confined to their home during the pandemic because either their age or their health condition makes it far too dangerous to travel to a doctor ’s office, clinic or hospital. These seniors, suffering from complex diseases like multiple sclerosis, kidney disease, cancer, osteoporosis and immune disorders, among others, that require regular care, are among the most vulnerable to COVID-19 and must be protected from the risk of exposure.
