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 and managed Medicaid programs plus intelligence on strategies to retain enrollees and reduce costs. Each issue is packed with insight from experts on how to:

  • Cope with the payment cuts that began in 2012 and will get deeper in subsequent years under the reform law.
  • Make benefit-design changes and premium adjustments for the upcoming plan year, while still complying with CMS’s rigid restrictions on increases in total benefit costs.
  • Adjust strategies to fare better with the accelerated and shorter annual marketing and enrollment period.
  • Participate successfully in the huge new initiatives for dual eligibles?
  • Prepare for the changes in CMS’s methodology for extrapolating results of Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits?
  • Alter operations to take advantage of much-needed quality bonuses when CMS changes the star ratings for 2013.

With a period of tremendous uncertainty ahead, there are great risks – and terrific opportunities – for health plans and their partners. Medicare Advantage News can help you identify and reduce these risks...and transform major changes into winning business strategies. Medicare Advantage News is a reliable source of competitive intelligence, with the latest news and data on:

  • Enrollment trends and market expansions,
  • Mergers, acquisitions and business deals
