Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act of 2025
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) sponsored this bill requiring Medicare Advantage plans to establish electronic prior authorization systems meeting specified standards and to annually report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on approval rates and response times for authorization requests. The bill directs CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to publish a report analyzing the data submitted by plans, examining the feasibility of real-time prior authorization decisions, and assessing how artificial intelligence-based decisions affect patient access to care. The House committee ordered the bill reported with amendments by a 42-0 vote.
