Increased Support for Medicare Advantage Plans in Under-served Regions
This act aims to ensure that Medicare Advantage insurance plans in regions with fewer traditional Medicare participants receive adequate funding. This means more of the money from these plans will be directed towards healthcare benefits for patients, potentially improving access to medical care in these areas.
Key points
Establishes a minimum funding level for Medicare Advantage plans in areas with lower traditional Medicare enrollment.
At least 50% of the increased funds from these new rules must be used for basic healthcare benefits for patients.
