Healthcare Leadership Council President and CEO Maria Ghazal released the following statement after the House Ways and Means Committee unanimously approved H.R. 3514, the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act:
“In today’s Washington, unanimous support for legislation is increasingly rare. That is why the House Ways and Means Committee’s 42-0 vote to advance the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act sends such a powerful message. This bipartisan legislation will help ensure Medicare Advantage beneficiaries receive timely, high-quality care by reducing unnecessary prior authorization delays, improving transparency, and strengthening interoperability. As long-time supporters of this legislation, we commend the bipartisan lawmakers who have championed this effort and urge Congress to build on this momentum by swiftly advancing the bill through both the House and Senate.”
