Increasing Access to Quality Cardiac Rehabilitation Care Act of 2025

This bill seeks to expand and expedite access to cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs under Medicare by amending the Social Security Act. It allows physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists to prescribe and supervise these rehabilitation services, a role previously limited to physicians, thereby increasing the pool of qualified providers. Furthermore, for cardiac rehabilitation, the bill broadens eligible service locations by changing "a physician's office" to the more inclusive " office setting ." These changes aim to reduce barriers to care and will apply to services furnished six months after the bill's enactment.
