To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to increase data transparency for supplemental benefits under Medicare Advantage.

This bill would require Medicare Advantage organizations, starting with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2029, to report data on supplemental benefits for each enrollee in each plan they offer. The data would include eligibility for these benefits, the types of benefits offered, how often they are used, how much the plan paid, and each enrollee's out-of-pocket costs. Beginning in 2030, the federal government would make this data available each year to researchers and others for program evaluation and health care research, and would post a public use data file on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website. The government would have to use procedures to protect the privacy of individually identifiable enrollee information.
