HR 9644: Medicare Advantage MLR Transparency Act

The Medicare Advantage MLR Transparency Act requires insurance companies offering Medicare Advantage plans to publicly disclose detailed financial data starting in 2029. Under this bill, each plan must report how much total revenue it collects and specifically how much is spent on actual medical claims versus administrative overhead costs. The law also mandates that this financial information be presented in a consumer-friendly format and aligns the way benefits are displayed with standards used by other health insurance plans. These changes aim to give Medicare beneficiaries clearer insight into how their premiums are utilized by the plans they choose.

HR 9645: Health Care Price Certainty for All Americans Act

This bill requires hospitals, laboratories, imaging centers, and ambulatory surgical centers to publicly post detailed price lists for their services, including standard charges, negotiated rates, and discounted cash prices, starting in 2027. It also mandates that private health insurance plans provide consumers with cost-sharing estimates and publish quarterly data on payment rates to doctors and pharmacies beginning in 2029. Additionally, the legislation requires Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plan sponsors to report ownership details for providers and pharmacies they control, while establishing civil penalties for entities that fail to comply with these transparency rules.

HR 9532: No Medicare Clawbacks Act of 2026

The No Medicare Clawbacks Act of 2026 prevents group health plans from taking back money they have already paid for medical services if a patient later becomes eligible for Medicare benefits. This rule applies specifically when the medical care was provided during a period of retroactive Medicare coverage and the patient was current on their required health plan contributions at the time of service. By amending the Social Security Act, the bill ensures that individuals do not face financial penalties for receiving care before their Medicare eligibility is officially recognized. The legislation directly affects employers offering group health plans and their employees who might otherwise face recouped payments due to delayed Medicare enrollment.

HR 9509: Kidney Disease Education Access Expansion Act of 2026

The Kidney Disease Education Access Expansion Act of 2026 expands Medicare coverage to include kidney disease education services for individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or any stage of chronic kidney disease, rather than limiting them to those with advanced disease. This bill broadens the range of eligible providers to include community health workers and clinical social workers, allows these services to be delivered in group settings or with caregivers present, and adds new topics such as transition assistance for transplant recipients. Starting in 2027, the law also requires private health insurance plans to cover these education services and establishes a working group to develop methods for measuring the effectiveness of the program.

SB 1403: An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in emergency medical services system, further providing for receiving facilities and providing for transportation coverage; and abrogating a regulation.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's emergency medical services laws to clarify rules for patient transport and insurance coverage. It defines "receiving facilities" as places where patients need further medical assessment after an ambulance response and requires protocols for handling behavioral health and substance use crises before transport. The legislation also mandates that health insurers cover emergency service payments when patients are treated and transported to these designated facilities, while simultaneously removing an outdated regulation regarding covered services.
