The Medicare Advantage (MA) landscape is heating up like never before, largely thanks to continued flexibilities from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that allow plans to cover a variety of nonmedical benefits.
Plans’ newfound ability to offer supplemental benefits such as home care and transportation for certain beneficiaries is drawing a number of new players into the space, many of whom are poised to create disruption.
In fact, there have been at least 16 new MA plan entrants this Annual Election Period (AEP), according to Patrick Phillips, CEO of Cavulus.
