Transparency in Medicare Advantage Steering Act
Key claim: HR9395 would require transparency in how Medicare Advantage plans steer beneficiaries, and was forwarded by subcommittee to full committee by voice vote in June 2026.
Abstract
(HR9395 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-25): Forwarded by Subcommittee to Full Committee by Voice Vote.
Why this matters
Medicare Advantage plans cover more than half of Medicare beneficiaries, and plan steering—directing enrollees to preferred providers, pharmacies, or affiliated entities—can shape access and out-of-pocket costs without enrollees fully understanding the incentives at play. HR9395 would impose new transparency requirements on those steering practices, adding to a growing set of MA oversight proposals (including the companion HR9392 cost transparency bill). The bill remains early in the legislative process.
