Wearables Data Drives Medicare Coverage
The article discusses the expanding use of wearable health devices and their potential integration into Medicare coverage. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to reimburse certain wearables and health apps to improve chronic disease management, with full payment linked to demonstrated health outcomes. A key initiative, the 10-year ACCESS pilot program, begins next month, reflecting a government focus on gathering clinical evidence to validate the cost-effectiveness of these devices. While devices like continuous glucose monitors are already covered for some diabetics, broader adoption depends on accumulating more robust data to support insurer reimbursement and widespread use.
