2026-02-23 Transparency in Coverage HHS, IRS, DOL Among many other things, this proposed rule is intended to improve the standardization, accuracy, and accessibility of public pricing disclosures from health insurance providers.

It is also intended to improve the findability of publicly disclosed machine-readable files required under the Transparency in Coverage rules, including the prescription drug file, by requiring a text file and footer with website URLs and contact information for the files.

2026-02-23 Request for Information: Accelerating the Adoption and Use of Artificial Intelligence as Part of Clinical Care HHS In this RFI, HHS is seeking feedback from those building, buying, evaluating, using, and receiving care from AI tools that are part of clinical care as well as from those who wish to do so but face barriers.
