## Summary

**30-day deadline for Medicare explanations of benefits.** This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide an explanation of benefits no later than 30 days after an item or service is paid or would have been paid under the Medicare program. - Medicare beneficiaries: People on Medicare would get notice about what Medicare paid and any patient costs within 30 days, helping them track bills and spot mistakes sooner. - Federal program administrators: The Department of Health and Human Services would need to deliver those explanations within the 30-day window, which may require new or faster processes for issuing notices.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Faster Medicare explanation of benefits: benefit, low. If enacted, Medicare would have to send an explanation of benefits within 30 days after payment is made or would have been made. You would learn sooner what Medicare paid and what you may owe. This would not change coverage or costs, only the timing of the notice.
