What this bill does
H.R. 9754, the Health Claim Denial Transparency Act, would require group health plans to provide more detailed information in their annual reports to the Secretary of Labor. Specifically, plans would need to report on the total number of claims submitted, approved, denied, and appealed, broken down by type of service such as prescription drugs, mental health, and cancer treatment. The bill also mandates reporting on the dollar amounts of claims paid and denied, and the reasons for claim denials, including medical necessity, lack of authorization, or administrative issues. Additionally, plans would need to report on the use of artificial intelligence in claim processing.
This bill affects individuals covered by group health plans, as it aims to increase transparency around how these plans handle claims. It also impacts group health plans themselves by imposing new reporting requirements. The Secretary of Labor would be responsible for issuing regulations to implement these changes within one year of the bill's enactment.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 16, 2026, by Representative Lucy McBath and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. As it has just been introduced, it has not yet been passed by the House or Senate.
