Health Insurance Transparency for Patients Act
To amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act and title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require health insurance issuers and MA organizations to make publicly available certain information with respect to coverage request rejection.
This bill, HB10024, aims to change certain health insurance laws. Specifically, it wants to make sure that health insurance companies and Medicare Advantage organizations must tell the public when they reject a request for coverage. This means that if someone asks to be covered by their health insurance and the request is turned down, the company will have to explain why and share this information with everyone.
The bill would impact anyone who has applied for health insurance or Medicare coverage and had their request rejected. By making the reasons for rejections public, it could help people understand why they were denied and what they might need to do next.
HB10024 was introduced in the House on August 3, 2026. After being introduced, it was sent to two committees: the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Committee on Ways and Means. These committees will review the bill and decide what to do next. For now, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process.
