Summary
The Medicare Advantage Improvement Act of 2026 requires Medicare Advantage plans to respond to most authorization requests within 72 hours, with some urgent cases answered in 24 hours, and lets them extend deadlines only in limited situations. It also forces plans to publish detailed prior‑authorization statistics at the plan and parent‑company level in a format researchers can download. The changes aim to reduce treatment delays for seniors and give policymakers clearer insight into how plans operate.
