## Summary

**Requires automatic reconsideration of every Medicare Advantage coverage denial without an enrollee request.** It ties that automatic reconsideration to the date the original denial was made. - Medicare Advantage enrollees: Would not have to ask for a second review when a plan denies coverage. Each denial would be reconsidered automatically on the date of the initial determination. - Medicare Advantage plans: Would be required to perform automatic reconsiderations for every denial, by changing the law to apply reconsideration to "each determination."
