This bill would add Medicare coverage for home resiliency services—like heat pumps and medical equipment batteries—for at-risk people during disasters.
The SAFE through Medicare Act would let Medicare cover home resiliency services for people who are medically at risk during climate or manmade disasters. Covered items could include heat pumps, batteries for medical equipment, and energy-efficient storage for medical supplies. The bill was referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means in May 2026.
If passed, Medicare could pay for home equipment like heat pumps or batteries for medical devices, which could affect what Medicare covers for eligible residents during disasters.
