Summary

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and maintain a website for Medicare beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries to search for healthcare providers and suppliers. The website must allow users to identify which providers participate in Medicare Advantage plans and in the original Medicare fee-for-service program (Parts A and B). The website must be established and operational within one year of the bill's enactment. This would provide a centralized resource for Medicare beneficiaries to compare provider networks across different Medicare plan options.
