Bill overview
This bill, the National Coverage Determination Transparency Act, aims to increase openness and clarity in how Medicare decides which medical treatments and procedures are covered. It requires the Medicare Secretary to promptly notify submitters if a request for a national coverage determination is incomplete and to explain what’s needed to make it complete. The bill also mandates the public availability of complete coverage determination requests and updates reporting requirements to include the time between a request's receipt and the Secretary’s determination of its completeness.
