AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal Medicare law so that states can enforce Medicare Advantage plan rules. Each state could require companies that issue, sell, renew, or offer Medicare Advantage plans in that state to meet the federal requirements for those plans. The federal Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to coordinate enforcement with the state where a company is licensed and any state where it offers plans. The Secretary could also sign collaborative enforcement agreements with states.
