Bill > HR943

This bill, the Medicare Employer Relief Act of 2015, aims to simplify how Medicare operates as a secondary payer by removing the requirement for employers to disclose information about their employees who are also Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare is considered a secondary payer when another insurance plan, such as an employer-sponsored health plan, is responsible for paying for medical services first. This bill specifically repeals a section of the Social Security Act that mandates employers to provide this disclosure information, with the change taking effect upon enactment and applying to information that would have been due on or after January 1, 2016.
