Dive Brief:
- The AHIP insurance lobby blasted the Biden administration for finalizing a rule that seeks to claw back millions of dollars from health insurers through Medicare Advantage audits that will apply retroactively to payments beginning in 2018.
- AHIP called the final rule “unlawful” and “fatally flawed” in a Monday statement following the rule’s release.
