Latest action (9 Oct 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
H.R. 10787 is a proposed law that would change how Medicare handles certain medical supplies. Specifically, it aims to prevent urological and ostomy supplies from being included in Medicare's competitive acquisition programs for a period of five years. These programs involve Medicare contracting with suppliers who offer these items at a lower cost. The bill's title suggests it would also address "other purposes," but details on these are not yet available.
The bill would directly impact Medicare beneficiaries who rely on urological and ostomy supplies, as well as the companies that supply these items. By excluding them from competitive acquisition programs for five years, the intention appears to be to maintain the current system for obtaining these specific supplies for a set duration.
As H.R. 10787 has just been introduced in the 119th Congress, it is at the very beginning of the legislative process. It was introduced on October 9, 2026, by Representative Gregory Murphy. The full text of the bill has not yet been published, and it will need to go through various committees, debates, and votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate before it could potentially become law.
