Two lawmakers are asking CMS to do more to curb overpayments to the Medicare Advantage program.
The agency is expected to release its 2025 rate notice to plans in the coming weeks. In a Jan. 25 letter to CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked the agency to include more levers to cut overpayments in the upcoming rate notice.
The two Democrats asked the agency to reform base payments to offset favorable selection in the program. According to an analysis from the Medicare Payment and Advisory Commission, differences in who enrolls in Medicare Advantage over fee-for-service may result in $34 billion more in payments to the program in 2024 than traditional Medicare.
