HR 3284 United States House · 118th Congress

Providers and Payers COMPETE Act

HR 3284, the Providers and Payers COMPETE Act, requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to annually report starting in 2026 on how Medicare regulations (for Parts B, C, and D) affect consolidation among healthcare providers and insurers. It also mandates that beginning in 2025, the Secretary must seek public comment on the potential consolidation impacts of proposed Medicare rules. The bill further modifies Medicare's innovation model testing to require evaluation of how such models affect provider and payer consolidation, including hospital mergers and pharmacy chain integrations. These provisions aim to increase transparency around consolidation trends in Medicare programs without altering existing payment structures.
