Medicare Advantage plans would pay doctors and hospitals like original Medicare and process claims faster.
This bill would require Medicare Advantage plans to pay doctors and hospitals at least as much as original Medicare. It would also set deadlines for plans to pay providers, adding interest for late payments.
Today, Medicare Advantage plans are not federally required to pay providers at original Medicare rates or to meet specific prompt payment deadlines for in-network claims. After this bill, starting January 1, 2027, these plans would have to pay providers at least original Medicare rates. They would also need to pay clean claims within 14 days for electronic claims or 30 days for other claims, or pay interest.
