CORS, JR	285277	RETIRESAFE	2015	first_quarter	MMM	RetireSafe worked as a leader, along with other patient advocate groups, to oppose any new cuts to the Medicare Advantage payment rates for 2016. RetireSafe worked with the Medicare Access for Patients Rx Coalition (MAPRx) to raise concerns regarding the Advance Notice of Methodological Changes for Calendar Year 2016 for Medicare Advantage Capitation Rates, Part C and Part D Payment Policies and 2016 Call Letter to express concerns related to: the Exceptions and Appeals Process, Star Ratings and the Dual-Eligibles, Formulary Oversight, Drug Utilization Review Controls, Tier Labeling and Composition, Specialty Tiers, and the Use of Multiple Tiers with Coinsurance Cost-Sharing Rates. RetireSafe joined with the Medicare Rights Center and other patient advocates to urge numerous changes to the Medicare Part D Program to make the Exceptions and Appeals Processes More Accessible for Beneficiaries. RetireSafe joined with the Healthcare Leadership Council and others to support the Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act, (H.R. 1190 and S. 141) to repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), authorized under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
