This bill, known as the Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025, aims to expand Medicare coverage to include services related to portable ultrasound tests . Specifically, it amends the Social Security Act to ensure that the transportation and set-up of portable ultrasound equipment are covered under the Medicare program. The legislation mandates that the Secretary provide a separate payment for these portable ultrasound transportation and set-up services, mirroring the payment structure already in place for portable X-ray services. Furthermore, it requires the Secretary to establish specific requirements for suppliers of these services, which must be substantially similar to those for portable X-ray service providers. These provisions are set to take effect for services furnished on or after January 1, 2027 , ensuring equitable reimbursement for these diagnostic services.
