LeadingAge shared its tip sheet for commenting on these proposed rules, which will govern how MA, Special Needs Plans, Part D plans and PACE providers operate in CY2024. Aspects of these rules seek to respond to issues LeadingAge has raised about beneficiary access to traditional Medicare benefits for those enrolled in MA plans and the prior authorization processes that plans use to make determinations about access to those benefits. LeadingAge is currently drafting its comments for the February 13, 5p.m. ET deadline based upon feedback from members but we also encourage members to share their thoughts on whether what CMS is proposing will correct these challenges with the MA program. The tip sheet explains the key issues in the proposed rule issues and what we are hearing from members. Members should feel free to comment only on the items of interest to them. They do not need to comment on all issues in the proposed rules.
