The "End-of-life Access to Supportive and Essential care Act of 2025," or EASE Act of 2025, proposes to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to enhance information provided to Medicare beneficiaries upon hospital discharge. This legislation specifically mandates that hospitals participating in the Medicare program furnish details about available hospice programs to certain individuals. Under the bill's provisions, hospitals will be required to inform patients who are likely eligible for hospice care about participating hospice programs serving their residential area. This expands existing requirements for hospitals to provide information on home health services and post-hospital extended care services. The amendments are slated to take effect for all discharges occurring on or after January 1, 2026, aiming to improve access to end-of-life care options for Medicare patients.
