Summary

The GME Transparency Act amends the Social Security Act so that hospitals receiving Medicare payments for graduate medical education must submit data on the citizenship status of their residents. The data must be de‑identified and sent within 180 days after each fiscal year, and the HHS Secretary must deliver a congressional report within 270 days, broken down by state and status categories. The goal is to provide clearer insight into the composition of the physician training workforce.
