Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to maintain a website for Medicare beneficiaries to search for providers participating in MA plans and traditional Medicare.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and maintain a public website within one year of the bill's enactment to help Medicare beneficiaries search for healthcare providers. The website will allow users to search for and identify providers who participate in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans and traditional Medicare (original Medicare fee-for-service program under Parts A and B). Specifically, the bill amends Section 1851(d) of the Social Security Act to mandate that the website enable Medicare beneficiaries and potential beneficiaries to easily find and verify which healthcare providers are in-network for different Medicare coverage options. The goal is to improve transparency and help Medicare participants more easily navigate their healthcare provider options by providing a centralized, searchable online resource.
