This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from implementing a Medicare payment model called WISeR (Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction). The WISeR model, announced in July 2025, was designed to require prior authorization for certain medical services under Medicare as a way to reduce wasteful or unnecessary care. The legislation blocks this model and any substantially similar alternatives from being put into effect. The bill affects Medicare beneficiaries and healthcare providers who would have been subject to the prior authorization requirements. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation, as its sole purpose is to prevent the WISeR model from being adopted.
