Ocasio-Cortez and Doggett led colleagues urging CMS to reject a Medicare model increasing patient care denials.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Congressman Lloyd Doggett, along with 40 colleagues, have urged the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to reject a proposed model that would expand the pre-treatment approval process, known as prior authorization, in Traditional Medicare. This appeal was made in a letter addressed to CMS officials today.
The proposed model, part of the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) pilot, could require providers to seek approval from for-profit companies before delivering necessary health services. Critics, including the lawmakers, express concern that this could delay care and prioritize profits over patient needs.
Ocasio-Cortez and Doggett's letter highlights potential negative impacts on the quality of coverage for seniors and calls for an alternative approach to address waste and fraud in the Medicare Advantage program, rather than implementing the WISeR model, which is set to begin on January 1, 2026.
