H.R. 9395, the Transparency in Medicare Advantage Steering Act, cleared a committee markup on June 25, 2026.
H.R. 9395 — Transparency in Medicare Advantage Steering Act
What it does
This bill requires Medicare Advantage insurance plans to report annually to federal regulators (starting 2028) which enrollees were signed up by agents or brokers, how much those intermediaries were paid, and in what form. Beginning 2030, the government must publish this data publicly so patients and researchers can see whether they were steered into plans by commission-driven salespeople. The goal is transparency: letting seniors know if their enrollment was influenced by agent incentives rather than their own choice.
Quorum's transparency scan gave Transparency in Medicare Advantage Steering Act a moderate transparency flag.
