LeadingAge Joins Coalition In Support of Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act (HR 3954)
LeadingAge and 40 other organizations on October 8, 2025, reiterated support of HR 3954 that enables the inclusion of both hospital inpatient and observations stays toward meeting the three-day stay statutory requirement for individuals enrolled in traditional Medicare who need care in a skilled nursing facility. The bill, as we explained on June 27, 2025, following its reintroduction, “.…is key to addressing the three-day stay requirement that was waived during the COVID- 19 Public Health Emergency.”
