Ensure employers and employer-sponsored health plan fiduciaries have timely access to health claims and plan data by prohibiting service providers from delaying, restricting, or limiting access to that data.

As a physician and a Congressman, I am proud to do my part to ensure timely access to the information needed for employers to properly conduct audits and evaluate health plan performance

Onder said his Health Data Access, Transparency, and Affordability Act would ensure employers have timely access to health plan information needed for audits and performance evaluation, including by limiting service providers' ability to restrict plan data access.

House Education and Workforce Committee announced 119th Congress subcommittee assignments. For Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions, it listed Rick Allen as chair and Onder as vice chair.

Onder holds a relevant committee role with jurisdiction over employer health benefits and ERISA issues, but this is not itself delivery of the data-access commitment.

EO 14221 says prior transparency rules require health plans to post negotiated provider rates, out-of-network payments, prescription-drug prices paid by plans or PBMs, and maintain consumer-facing price tools. It directs Treasury, Labor, and HHS to implement and enforce price-transparency rules and improve standardization and compliance guidance.

Federal executive action advanced health-plan price transparency, but it does not directly prove that employers and plan fiduciaries received timely claims and plan data or that service providers were barred from delaying/restricting such access.

The order states it must be implemented consistent with applicable law and available appropriations, and does not create enforceable rights or benefits against the United States or other parties.

The order is enforcement and guidance oriented, not a new statutory prohibition on service providers delaying, restricting, or limiting employer/fiduciary access to claims and plan data.

Axios reported that a study found major insurers provided incomplete transparency data, potentially leaving employers in the dark when shopping for workplace coverage, and that CMS had not taken enforcement action against insurers.

Post-EO reporting indicates ongoing gaps in insurer transparency data affecting employers, supporting that the commitment remained unresolved or only partially addressed as of the later lookback context.
