Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction Model undermines beneficiary access to health care and should not be implemented.

This resolution states the position of the House of Representatives on a Medicare program called the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model, which was proposed to begin on January 1, 2026. The model would add prior authorization requirements to more services in traditional Medicare, use private contractors, and use technologies such as artificial intelligence to process requests. The resolution expresses disapproval of the model and states the House's finding that bringing Medicare Advantage-style prior authorization into traditional Medicare undermines access to care. It asks the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to end the model. The resolution does not create a law or require any agency to act.
