A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

This joint resolution stops Medicare from continuing to test a new program in six states — New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington — that requires doctors to get approval before providing certain services to patients. Under the program, which started on January 1, 2026, private companies use technology like artificial intelligence to decide whether Medicare should pay for certain services, and those companies get paid based on how much money they help save. The resolution cancels the rule that created this program and prevents Medicare from moving forward with it.
