Inside the Push for a U.S.-Run Global Health Body
The Washington Post Intelligence examines the Trump Administration’s Medicare Advantage proposal and its impact on regional insurers. The coverage features Alliance of Community Health Plans VP of Public Policy Michael Bagel discussing concerns about larger national companies scaling back Medicare Advantage offerings in less profitable areas, leaving smaller plans to care for sicker beneficiaries. “We need to make sure that those who are staying can actually survive,” Bagel said, noting this is “a major challenge given the rates that CMS has put out.” The piece highlights how regional plans will likely ask Medicare officials to allow chart reviews for new enrollees dumped by national plans.
