Medicare Advantage enrollees would get simpler rules for some medical approvals.
This bill would make it easier for people with Medicare Advantage to get approvals for certain medical services and drugs. It would require the government to standardize the approval process for high-cost, complex items across all plans by May 2028.
Today, prior approval rules for medical services and drugs under Medicare Advantage can be different for each plan and provider, causing confusion and extra steps. This bill would require the government to identify the most complex and costly services and drugs, then create one set of prior approval rules for them across all plans by May 1, 2028. It would also create exceptions for certain doctor groups that share financial risk, unless a Medicare Advantage plan requests otherwise.
