Timely Access to Coverage Decisions Act of 2023
This bill sets strict timelines for Medicare administrative contractors to review requests for local coverage determinations. It requires contractors to determine within 30 days if a request is complete or incomplete, and if incomplete, notify the submitter within 60 days of missing information. For complete requests, contractors must complete research, consult experts, hold a 45-day public comment period, and issue a final decision within 9 months. The bill directly affects Medicare contractors and healthcare providers or entities seeking coverage decisions for Medicare services.
