Portable Ultrasound Reimbursement Equity Act of 2025

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.
