We have received text from H.R. 10959: Right to Re-Enroll Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-11-05, and currently has 1 cosponsor.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would require health insurance marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act to give people a special enrollment period if their health plan loses a doctor, hospital, or other provider from its network.
What would change
- If a qualified health plan ends its contract with a provider or facility that was in its network, the insurer would have to allow affected enrollees to switch plans during a 60-day special enrollment period .
- This would apply to plan years starting on or after January 1, 2027 .
- The contract ending could be for any reason, including termination for cause, termination without cause, or non-renewal.
Who could use the special enrollment period
The bill says the new protections would apply to people who:
- Received items or services from the provider or facility during the 90 days before the network change, or
- Had been assigned by the plan to that provider or facility as of the date the contract ended.
Coverage protections during the transition
If an affected enrollee gets care from that provider or facility during the special enrollment period, the plan would have to cover that care under the same terms and conditions that would have applied if the provider had stayed in network. The person could not be charged more in cost-sharing for those services than they would have paid if the provider relationship had not ended.
Notice requirement
The plan would have to notify enrolled individuals as soon as practicable, but no later than 7 days after the provider or facility leaves the network. The notice would have to:
- Tell the person they are eligible for the special enrollment period,
- Explain how to enroll in a different qualified health plan, and
- Explain that switching plans may reset amounts already paid toward the person’s deductible or out-of-pocket limit.
Practical effect
In simple terms, the bill would give people more flexibility to leave or change an ACA marketplace plan when a key doctor or hospital they rely on is no longer in the plan’s network. It would also require insurers to notify customers quickly and keep certain cost-sharing protections in place during the transition.
Relevant Companies
- UNH - UnitedHealth Group could be affected through its health insurance operations and provider network contracting practices.
- HUM - Humana could be affected if network changes lead to more plan switching or additional administrative requirements in its ACA-related health plans.
- CVS - CVS Health, through its insurance business and health plan administration, could be affected by changes in enrollment and network-related obligations.
- CI - Cigna could be affected through health plan operations that involve provider network contracts and marketplace plan administration.
- ELV - Elevance Health could be affected through its marketplace insurance business and the need to manage network-related special enrollment periods.
- OSCR - Oscar Health could be directly affected because it sells ACA marketplace plans and would need to implement the new enrollment and notice requirements.
- AGL - Agilon Health may be indirectly affected if provider network changes alter plan-provider arrangements in markets where it participates, though impact would likely be less direct than for insurers.
