The bill aims to expedite Medicare Advantage (MA) authorization processes, enhance transparency, and improve reconsideration for coverage denials. It also would impact MA plans by introducing compliance scoring, payment reductions for non-compliance, and expanding the star ratings program. Furthermore, it seeks to align MA coverage and medical necessity criteria with fee-for-service (FFS) standards, introducing prompt payment requirements, and modifying network adequacy standards for post-acute care providers. These changes will impact MA coverage, claims processing, and network adequacy for long-term care hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
