Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and organizations involved in Medicare services covered by the WISeR prior authorization rule. It also affects the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, because Congress would stop that agency rule from moving forward. The bill could also matter to health care providers who would have had to deal with the prior approval process.

Why this matters: This matters because it could stop a new Medicare prior approval process before it starts. Prior authorization can affect how quickly patients get services and how providers handle billing. The bill does not create a new Medicare rule. It cancels one specific rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services if Congress approves the resolution.
