Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services want to complete new Medicare Advantage marketing regulations before Oct. 1, when the next open season starts.
The new rules are a CMS priority and should be released shortly, Abby Block, director of the CMS Center for Beneficiary Choices and Medicaid Services, said here today at a conference organized by America’s Health Insurance Plans, Washington.
The CMS soon will begin a pilot program to compare what Medicare Advantage carriers are advertising and what the carriers’ programs actually provide, Block said.
