Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require Medicare Advantage plans, starting with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2029, to report data about each enrollee's use of supplemental benefits to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The data would include eligibility rules, benefit categories, how often benefits were used, how much the plan paid, and each enrollee's out-of-pocket costs. Within about two years after each plan year begins, the Secretary would share the data on request for research and program evaluation. The Secretary would also post a de-identified public data file online, with privacy protections in place. The bill provides $12 million to carry out these changes.
