Unlocking Housing Supply Through Streamlined and Modernized Reviews Act

S1816 — Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act of 2025

This bill would force Medicare Advantage plans to adopt a standardized, electronic prior authorization system and publish detailed approval and denial data to speed patient access and enable oversight. It sets deadlines for transparency and electronic processing and creates reporting and real-time decision rules to shrink delays and reveal how plans use automation.

S1261 — CONNECT for Health Act of 2025

Expands Medicare telehealth access by removing location limits and updating how telehealth is paid and overseen. It would also strengthen program integrity, require provider and beneficiary supports, modernize quality measures, and publish telehealth data. - Families, seniors, and underserved patients would gain broader access because the bill removes Medicare geographic and originating-site restrictions and lifts the six-month prior in-person rule for telemental health. It explicitly expands access for Indian Health Service and tribal facilities effective January 1, 2026. - Providers and clinics would see payment and staffing changes because telehealth furnishing at Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics would be folded into existing payment systems and the Secretary could waive practitioner-type limits starting October 1, 2025 with public notice and periodic review. - Oversight, quality, and transparency would increase through a new fraud and advertising framework, outlier-billing thresholds with education and public reporting, dedicated HHS Office of Inspector General telehealth oversight funding through 2030, a quality-measure review within 180 days, and CMS quarterly public reporting of telehealth use and outcomes.

S522 — Credit Union Board Modernization Act

Creates a tiered, performance-based meeting schedule for federal credit union boards. This bill would tie how often a board must meet to a credit union’s age and its ratings under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (UFIRS) and a management capability rating, replacing a blanket monthly requirement with a two-stage cadence.

S339 — Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act

Medicare coverage for multi-cancer early detection screening tests. This bill would let the Secretary of Health and Human Services set who is eligible, define which tests qualify, and set payment amounts and standards while limiting tests by age and frequency. - Older Medicare beneficiaries: People would be eligible starting at age 68 in 2028, with the age limit rising by one year each year. Each person could get one test every 11 months. - Patients and clinicians: Covered tests must be FDA-cleared, classified, or approved and must be genomic blood tests that analyze cell-free nucleic acids or provide comparable results. The Secretary must determine a test is reasonable and necessary before Medicare pays. - Medicare program and providers: Coverage decisions would use the national coverage determination process and follow a defined, phased payment schedule. The bill also includes an exception tied to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations when they endorse broader preventive screening.
