Preserving Patient Access Act
A bill to preserve patient access to health care providers and prescription drug coverage under Medicare and individual market plans.
This bill aims to ensure that patients can continue to see their chosen health care providers and maintain their prescription drug coverage, specifically under Medicare and individual market plans. If passed, it would protect the ability of people enrolled in these programs to access their preferred doctors and pharmacies without disruption.
The bill would primarily affect Medicare beneficiaries and individuals purchasing health insurance through the individual market. By securing their access to current providers and prescription drugs, it seeks to maintain the quality and continuity of their health care.
As of June 24, 2026, the bill has been introduced and read twice in the Senate. It has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, which will review the bill and may hold hearings or make recommendations. The next steps will involve the committee's assessment and possible amendments before it moves forward in the legislative process.
