The purpose of the Preventive Home Visit Act is to improve healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by providing coverage for preventive home visits. These visits aim to identify health risks and enhance the overall well-being of individuals in their own homes. Key provisions of the Act include the formal definition of a preventive home visit, which is a visit by qualified professionals to assess a person's home environment and health risks. This visit can occur in person or remotely and is limited to once every two years.
