The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is approaching. Join us for an important annual enrollment update as we discuss the major changes impacting Medicare Advantage and Part D plans for the upcoming plan year. Learn how the Inflation Reduction Act is reshaping Medicare through prescription drug reforms, changes to plan funding, and new beneficiary protections.
We’ll also explain the Medicare Advantage bid process, how Star Ratings affect plan benefits and funding, and why many plans are making significant adjustments to premiums, copays, benefits, and provider networks.
Attendees will gain insight into the market forces driving the disruption, including why some PPO plans are exiting certain markets, the challenges surrounding provider network adequacy, and what these changes mean for current and future Medicare beneficiaries.
This session will help you understand not only what is changing, but why these changes are occurring and how to make informed decisions during Annual Enrollment.
