AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes Medicare rules for Medicare Advantage special needs plans, which are private Medicare plans designed for people with specific needs. Under current law, these plans must be approved by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The bill would allow, starting in 2026, other private accrediting organizations to approve these plans if the Secretary of Health and Human Services finds them appropriate and their application has been approved under existing Medicare rules. Approvals would be based on standards set by the Secretary.
