H.R.5243

Increases data transparency for supplemental benefits under Medicare Advantage by requiring public access to enrollee-level data.

The bill amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to enhance data transparency for supplemental benefits under Medicare Advantage. It mandates that starting from 2029, Medicare Advantage organizations must submit enrollee-level data on supplemental benefits to the Secretary. Beginning in 2030, the Secretary will make this data available on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website, ensuring it is accessible for evaluations, analysis, and health care research. The bill emphasizes the need for privacy safeguards to protect individually identifiable enrollee information.
