Health Claim Denial Transparency Act
To direct the Secretary of Labor to require group health plans include certain information on claim denials in annual reports, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes that the Secretary of Labor must require group health plans to include specific information about claim denials in their annual reports. This information will help people understand why their claims were denied and make it easier to appeal the decision. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the health insurance process.
The bill would affect employers and employees who are part of group health plans. By making the reasons for claim denials more clear and accessible, it helps people understand their coverage and rights. This could lead to fewer claims being unfairly denied and more successful appeals.
The bill was introduced on July 16, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the committee will review the bill and may hold hearings to gather more information and feedback.
