Summary: The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) supports the review of the Essential Health Benefits (EHB) framework, urging CMS to ensure that benchmark plans provide consistent, long-term access to rehabilitative services and chronic disease management for progressive neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease. They advocate for regular EHB reviews and for CMS to consider the downstream costs of underinsurance and the specific needs of patients with chronic, multidisciplinary conditions.
