Seniors’ Access to Critical Medications Act of 2025

This bill would temporarily allow doctors, from 2026 to 2030, to give Medicare patients their prescription drugs directly from the doctor's office, including through a caregiver picking them up or by mail. Normally, a law called the Stark law stops doctors from sending patients to get services from places where the doctor has a financial interest, but this bill creates an exception as long as certain rules are met, like the patient having an ongoing relationship with the doctor and at least one in-person visit in the past year. The bill also requires a government agency to study and report on any pharmacies that start giving out a lot more Medicare drugs after this change, especially those owned by or connected to doctor practices.
