New Medicare approval steps for seniors would be stopped.
This bill would stop new approval steps for some Medicare services. Seniors would not need new prior authorization, and doctors would have less paperwork. It blocks the Department of Health and Human Services' proposed WISeR model.
Today, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has the authority to implement new programs like the WISeR model, which would add prior approval steps for some Medicare services. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary would be legally stopped from putting the WISeR model or any similar program into effect, meaning those new approval steps would not be required.
