GME Transparency Act of 2026

This bill would require hospitals that receive Medicare payments for direct graduate medical education costs to send the federal health department deidentified information about the residents in their medical residency programs, within 180 days after each fiscal year ends. A hospital program that does not submit this information would no longer count as an approved medical residency training program under Medicare. Within 270 days after each fiscal year, the department would report to Congress the number and percentage of residents, by state, who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, J-1 exchange visitors, H-1B workers, or otherwise lawfully present. The department would also provide hospitals with a standardized form for this reporting.
