Patrick Ryan will champion legislation to penalize health insurers that deny more than 25% of claims and refund the penalties directly to affected patients.

Representatives Pat Ryan and Angie Craig introduced their new bill to hold health insurance companies accountable for above-average denial rates and refund patients for medical payments that should have been covered by insurance. The Patient Refunds for Bad Denials Act would create financial penalties for health insurers that deny more than 25% of claims in a given year ... These penalties would be paid back to affected enrollees.

Ryan announced and backed legislation that would impose financial penalties on high-denial-rate insurers and return the money to affected patients.
