| 2016-20034 | Request for Information: Inappropriate Steering of Individuals Eligible for or Receiving Medicare and Medicaid Benefits to Individual Market Plans | Proposed Rule | This request for information seeks public comment regarding concerns about health care providers and provider-affiliated organizations steering people eligible for or receiving Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits to an individual market plan for the purpose of obtaining higher payment rates. CMS is concerned about reports of this practice and is requesting comments on the frequency and impact of this issue from the public. We believe this practice not only could raise overall health system costs, but could potentially be harmful to patient care and service coordination because of changes to provider networks and drug formularies, result in higher out-of-pocket costs for enrollees, and have a negative impact on the individual market single risk pool (or the combined risk pool in states that have chosen to merge their risk pools). We are seeking input from stakeholders and the public regarding the frequency and impact of this practice, and options to limit this practice. | 2016-08-23 | 2016 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/08/23/2016-20034/request-for-information-inappropriate-steering-of-individuals-eligible-for-or-receiving-medicare-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-08-23/pdf/2016-20034.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This request for information seeks public comment regarding concerns about health care providers and provider-affiliated organizations steering people eligible for or receiving Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits to an individual market plan for the... |
