Download or read book Beneficiaries Remain Vulnerable to Sales Agents Marketing of Medicare Advantage Plans written by Daniel R. Levinson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracts with private companies, known as plan sponsors, to provide health insurance plans under MA. Plan sponsors may market their MA plans through independent sales agents, who may market on their own or through a field marketing organization (FMO), or by employing their own sales agents. Between June 2007 and June 2008, Congress held three hearings examining sales agents' marketing of MA plans. During these hearings, witnesses testified that sales agents had marketed without licenses, portrayed themselves as Medicare employees, and misled Medicare beneficiaries about plan benefits. These types of aggressive, deceptive, and fraudulent marketing practices could result in Medicare beneficiaries enrolling in plans that do not meet their health care needs. Several members of Congress raised concerns about sales agents' marketing to Medicare beneficiaries to the Office of Inspector General (OIG); one specifically requested that OIG examine the marketing practices of MA plans.

Book excerpt: Increasingly, senior citizens throughout the United States are victimized by aggressive and fraudulent health care marketing practices. Medicare Advantage and Part D prescription drug plans are health benefit options approved by the federal government but sold and administered by private insurance companies. The programs were created as part of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and coverage became effective in 2006. Since that time, tens of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries have been victimized by deceptive sales tactics of insurers running Medicare's private plan options. Abusive marketing directly impacts the health of patients - by delaying access to urgently needed medications or denying coverage of medical treatments. Predatory marketing problems are aggravated by insufficient regulations and federal enforcement failures. Current Medicare marketing guidelines lack comprehensive protections for beneficiaries. Unfortunately, weak federal regulations preempt stronger state law protections. Inaction by federal regulatory agencies, coupled with broad preemption of state law, creates a legal fissure in which vulnerable Medicare patients are pitted against wealthy private insurers without accessible legal avenues for relief. This Note offers solutions to the weak regulation and enforcement gaps that facilitate marketing abuse. Specifically, this Note proposes delegating enforcement authority to states, employing existing state consumer protections, creating a private cause of action, and enhancing violation penalties.
