Support the Patient Choice and Quality Care Act of 2017

Medicare patients need access to multi-disciplinary, advanced-illness care and coordination, as well as appropriate support to develop advance care plans. Our nation must also work to ensure that advance directives, once executed, are honored. The Patient Choice and Quality Care Act works to address these and other important end-of-life care related needs. The legislation would, among other things:

  • Create a Medicare advanced illness care and management model program to test the use of targeted advanced illness management and early use of palliative care
  • Provide access to advance care planning support tools
  • Promote the portability of advance directives
  • Facilitate the development and use of quality measures for advanced illness, palliative, and end-of-life care
