HR5343 would force Medicare to provide immediate 4-year coverage for FDA breakthrough devices, directly benefiting large medical device manufacturers by eliminating the current 1-3 year coverage lag. The bill passed the Ways & Means committee 37-3 but awaits floor action. Despite bearish recent price action (MDT -8.2%, ABT -11%, BDX -7.3% in 30 days), this bill represents a structural catalyst for device revenue acceleration.
