H.R. 9396, introduced in the U.S. House on June 23, 2026 by Rep. Goldman of Texas, would require health insurance plans to publicly post their prior authorization denial rates. Starting in 2027, insurers must share how many requests were approved or denied, how long decisions took, and how many denials were overturned on appeal. The bill was forwarded by subcommittee to the full committee in June 2026.
If your doctor needs insurance approval before a treatment, this bill affects how much information your insurer must share publicly about how often and how fast those decisions are made.
