Preserving Patient Access Act

This bill would let people with Medicare Advantage plans change plans during the year if a doctor or other provider they saw in person or by telehealth in the past 2 years leaves the plan's network. Medicare drug plan enrollees could also get a special chance to switch plans if their plan makes a negative change to coverage of a drug they were given in the past 6 months. Insurers selling individual health coverage would have to offer a special enrollment period for the same two situations. The Medicare changes would apply to plan years starting on or after January 1, 2027.
