PI Post Acute Access Act
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to improve access to skilled nursing facilities for primary immunodeficiency patients.
HB8528, also known as the PI Post Acute Access Act, aims to improve access to skilled nursing facilities for patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI) under Medicare, which is part of the Social Security Act. This means that people with PI, a group of disorders that affect the immune system, would have better access to the care they need after being discharged from the hospital.
This bill would primarily affect individuals with primary immunodeficiency and their families, as well as the healthcare providers and facilities that care for them. By ensuring better access to skilled nursing facilities, it hopes to improve the quality of care and outcomes for these patients.
HB8528 was introduced on April 27, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Energy and Commerce for further consideration. The bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process, and it will need to go through several more steps before it can potentially become law.
