SEE Care Compare Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to improve the search engine visibility of Medicare’s Care Compare website (www.medicare.gov/care-compare) to make it easier for the public to find. Specifically, the Secretary must update website optimization practices quarterly using search engine best practices, user research, and industry guidelines. It also mandates two reports to Congress: one within 90 days detailing current website analytics (like page views and traffic sources), and a follow-up report a year later comparing data and suggesting further actions. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries and healthcare providers who rely on this website to compare care quality and make informed healthcare decisions.
