New Medicare Advantage Rule Forbids Coverage of Procedures Used by Over 4 Million Seniors
Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative to traditional Medicare that can provide coverage for more services. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 allowed Advantage Plans to cover things that were not directly related to health if they help to maintain or improve functioning for chronic illness sufferers.
In response, Medicare Advantage plans submitted proposals to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to cover different supplementary services, some of which CMS doesn't think should be covered. In fact, the CMS has now codified a non-exhaustive list of services that Advantage plans can't cover and include some common procedures.
