Plain-English Summary
Medicare patients and drug manufacturers would gain a formal review process to challenge decisions by Medicare that deny coverage for certain medications nationwide. Currently, when Medicare decides not to cover a drug, there is limited opportunity to appeal that decision; this change would create a structured way to request reconsideration and present new evidence. The review process would apply specifically to these national coverage denials, giving patients and companies a clearer path to contest decisions they believe are unfair.
