The proposed RAMP Act aims to enhance the enforcement of Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rules by creating a private cause of action for damages. This provision would enable individuals or entities to sue group health plans that do not fulfill their responsibilities for primary payment or appropriate reimbursement. The bill specifically amends Section 1862(b)(3)(A) of the Social Security Act, replacing the broader term "primary plan" with the more defined "group health plan." This modification clarifies the scope of entities against which such lawsuits can be brought, thereby strengthening accountability for compliance with MSP requirements.
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
