What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill sets new rules for Medicare Advantage health plans when they require doctors to get approval before providing certain treatments or services, a process called prior authorization. These plans would have to use an electronic system for handling these requests, report information each year about how many requests they approve and how quickly they respond, and meet quality and timing standards set by the government. The bill also requires a government report to be published that looks at the data from these plans, whether approval decisions could be made in real time, and how the use of artificial intelligence in these decisions affects patients' ability to get care.
