The verified commitment describes legislation that would require HHS to review claims within 120 days. Verified bill text includes that 120-day requirement, and verified evidence shows the House bill was introduced and referred to committee. However, the evidence only establishes introduction/referral, not enactment or an operative HHS requirement. With no documented deadline expired as of 2026-10-12, this is an attributable effort but not delivered or partially delivered outcome.
