This bill requires Medicare Advantage insurance plans to report detailed information about supplemental benefits they offer to Medicare enrollees, starting in 2029. The data Medicare Advantage organizations must submit includes what supplemental benefits are available, who qualifies for them, how often they are used, and how much the plans and enrollees spend on them. Within two years of collecting this data, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services must make it available to researchers and the public in a de-identified format to support program evaluation and health research. The legislation protects enrollee privacy by requiring safeguards on individually identifiable information. The bill appropriates $12 million in funding for fiscal year 2026 to implement these transparency requirements.
