HR 5873 United States House · 119th Congress

PROMPT Act

This bill requires Medicare to provide beneficiaries with a clear explanation of benefits within 30 days after receiving care or a service. It amends Medicare rules to mandate that the Health and Human Services Secretary send this summary not later than 30 days following payment (or expected payment) for covered items. The law directly affects Medicare beneficiaries, who will receive timely, transparent information about their coverage and costs. This change aims to simplify understanding of Medicare billing without altering benefit eligibility or coverage rules.
