Medicare Advantage News
The health care industry’s #1 source of timely news and business strategies about Medicare Advantage plans, product design, marketing, enrollment, market expansions, CMS audits, and countless federal initiatives in this hotly contested area of health insurance. Published biweekly since 1994 (when it was Medicare+Choice), the newsletter exists to help plans boost revenues, increase enrollees, cut costs and improve outcomes in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care.
News and Analysis of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and Managed Medicaid
Medicare Advantage News is a biweekly 8-page newsletter that provides news and analysis of changes to the Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and managed Medicaid programs plus intelligence on strategies to retain enrollees and reduce costs. Each issue is packed with insight from experts on:
- Which states will offer the best opportunities for MA plans to have a major role in new initiatives for dual eligibles?
- What benefit-design changes and premium adjustments are MA plans making, while still complying with CMS’s rigid new restrictions on increases in total benefit costs?
- What changes will MA plans make to their cost structure in 2013 to prepare for the start of MA minimum medical loss ratios in 2014?
- What impact will the end of the tax deductibility of the federal Retiree Drug Subsidy in 2013 have on employers’ interest in moving retirees to MA plans?
- How will CMS change the star ratings for 2014, and what impact will that have on MA plans’ much-needed quality bonuses?
- What new strategies are Medicare Advantage plans developing to cope with payment cuts that will deepen in 2013 and subsequent years?
With a period of tremendous uncertainty ahead, there are great risks – and terrific opportunities – for health plans and their partners.
