Hinson fulfilled the pledge in the federal legislative context by cosponsoring H.R.3514 during her current House term. The bill directly requires Medicare Advantage plans to report prior authorization requirements, approvals, denials, appeals, appeal outcomes, use of AI or decision-support tools, and timing-to-determination data, with CMS publication on a public website at the individual plan level. The match is not universal to all private health insurance, but it materially covers the promised disclosure framework for a major federal health insurance program, and the promise was to support legislation rather than secure enactment.
