Seniors Deserve SMARTER Care Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the implementation of the WISeR model under Medicare, specifically blocking the Secretary of Health and Human Services from adopting the "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model" or any similar model. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries and providers by preventing a new payment and service delivery approach that would require prior authorization for certain services. The key provision is a direct ban on the WISeR model's rollout, as outlined in the July 1, 2025, federal notice. This change would maintain current Medicare approval processes for affected services without creating new requirements. The bill does not establish new benefits or alter existing Medicare coverage rules.
