McKnight’s Senior Living October 4, 2023
A bipartisan bill requiring the use of cognitive impairment detection tools in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias has the support of the senior living industry.
The Concentrating on High-Value Alzheimer’s Needs to Get to an End Act, or CHANGE Act, (S 2379 / HR 4752) would direct the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to require the use of cognitive impairment detection tools approved by the National Institute on Aging during initial “Welcome to Medicare” exams and Medicare annual wellness visits. The tools are used to screen, detect and diagnose Alzheimer’s and related dementias in their earliest stages. Further, the tool used would have to be documented in the patient’s medical record.
