Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

Cancel WISeR prior authorization for Medicare

If enacted, this resolution would disapprove and nullify the CMS rule titled "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model," which was published July 1, 2025. The resolution references a GAO opinion (May 12, 2026, printed May 14, 2026) finding the notice is a rule under chapter 8 of title 5. If enacted, the disapproved rule would have no force or effect, so Medicare beneficiaries and their health care providers would not face the WISeR prior-authorization steps for the specified services. The change would take effect upon enactment.
