As beneficiary
enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans has steadily
increased, statutory loopholes, coupled with a lack of
oversight by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, has caused serious problems for Medicare
Advantage patients and medical practices that care for
them.
MGMA is
initiating a nationwide, grassroots effort to encourage
Congress to strengthen the Medicare Advantage program
and reduce beneficiaries' confusion and the
administrative burden on group practices. Let your
lawmakers know they can improve Medicare Advantage by
passing legislation to:
·
Standardizing
patient identification cards
·
Removing the
unfair deeming and "all products" provisions; and
·
Enforcing
prompt-payment provisions for Medicare Advantage
payments.
Send your
senators and representatives a letter today by visiting
the MGMA Advocacy
Center at
mgma.com and
selecting "Public Policy" and "Advocacy Resources."
