Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction Model undermines beneficiary access to health care and should not be implemented.

This House Resolution expresses the strong disapproval of the House of Representatives regarding the proposed Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) Model . The resolution highlights that this model, set to commence on January 1, 2026, would significantly increase prior authorization requirements in traditional Medicare, utilizing private companies and advanced technologies like artificial intelligence. The House finds that expanding prior authorization processes, similar to those used in Medicare Advantage, into traditional Medicare would undermine beneficiary access to timely and necessary medical care . Concerns are raised about prior authorization being an obstacle to care, contributing to physician burnout, and the documented high error rates in denials by private companies and AI tools. Therefore, the resolution strongly requests that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services terminate the WISeR Model to protect patient access to healthcare.
