Congresswoman Goodlander and 40 colleagues urge CMS to halt changes to Medicare's prior authorization model, citing patient care concerns.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, along with 40 colleagues, has urged the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to reject a proposed model that would expand prior authorization in Traditional Medicare. In a letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, they expressed concern that the model, which would require approval from for-profit companies before providing healthcare services, could lead to increased patient denials and reduced care quality.
The model, set to launch on January 1, 2026, would impact providers in select states and aims to cut costs by allowing for-profit companies to control healthcare access. Goodlander emphasized that this approach prioritizes profit over patient care and called for halting the model in favor of addressing existing issues in Medicare Advantage programs.
Additionally, the lawmakers criticized the potential use of artificial intelligence in making medical necessity determinations, arguing it may further hinder access to necessary services for patients. The full letter to CMS can be accessed via a provided link.
