This bill would let Medicare cover home resiliency services for people who are at medical risk during a climate or manmade disaster. Covered items could include heat pumps, batteries for medical equipment, and energy-efficient storage for medical supplies. The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the Senate Committee on Finance in April 2026.
If passed, some Medicare recipients in Houston could qualify for home equipment like heat pumps or backup batteries through Medicare, changing what the program covers during disasters.
