Summary

The Improving MA SNP Act of 2026 changes the Social Security Act so that, besides the current accreditor, other private accrediting organizations can approve specialized Medicare Advantage plans for people with special needs. It applies to the plans that serve these beneficiaries and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set the standards and approve the new accreditors. The goal is to broaden the pool of qualified plan reviewers and potentially improve options for patients.
