What this bill would do

The Reducing Medically Unnecessary Delays in Care Act of 2025 aims to ensure that prior authorization decisions for Medicare are handled by physicians. This bill establishes specific contract requirements for Medicare administrative contractors, Medicare Advantage plans, and prescription drug plans. It mandates that medical decisions be based on written clinical criteria and evidence-based standards. The Act requires these entities to obtain input from practicing, board-certified physicians when creating clinical criteria. Additionally, it requires the public posting of preauthorization requirements and statistics regarding approvals and denials. Finally, it dictates that all adverse determinations must be made by a qualified physician.
