Full Analysis
- What happened: On May 19, 2026, Rep. Landsman (D-OH) introduced H.J.Res. 187 to disapprove a CMS rule implementing prior authorization for select services under the WISeR model. The resolution was referred to the Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce Committees. It is in early stage with only three cosponsors. 2) Money trail: This is a Congressional Review Act resolution — it does not authorize or appropriate any funds. It simply nullifies an existing rule. No spending is involved. 3) Winners and losers: The nullification would benefit Medicare Advantage insurers (, $HUM, $CI) by avoiding new prior authorization requirements. However, the rule was not yet in effect, so the impact is prospective and small. 4) Legislative timeline: The resolution must pass both chambers and be signed by the President to take effect. Given the divided Congress and early stage, passage is unlikely. 5) Market implications: Minimal. The WISeR model was not a major market-moving regulation. The resolution's failure to advance would leave the status quo unchanged.
