New Regulations – Revisions to the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Benefit Programs

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today (9/15/2008) released final regulations that will protect Medicare beneficiaries from deceptive or high-pressure marketing tactics by private insurance companies and their agents during the upcoming 2009 Medicare Advantage and prescription drug open enrollment period. The regulations also include other non-marketing related Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plan provisions. Copies of the new regulations and related documents can be downloaded from below.
