Payers can add more value to Medicare Advantage health plans by using new federal flexibilities to address chronic disease management and preventive care.
Payers striving to compete in the Medicare Advantage (MA) market can add more value to their health plans by taking advantage of regulatory changes established under a new final rule.
Starting in plan year 2019, payers can offer a greater variety of Medicare Advantage plans with more variation of health benefits, specialized cost-sharing designs, and additional opportunities for member engagement.
CMS believes that these changes will help payers create a better Medicare Advantage experience for their members and address beneficiary healthcare challenges related to affordability and patient outcomes.
