Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare Advantage organizations (MAO) offer an alternative to Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) program. Payments to MAO are, in part, based on the revenue expenditures projections prior to the start of each contract year. On average, MAO projected they would spend 87% of their 2007 revenue on medical exp., 9% on non-med. exp., and that the remaining 4% would go to profits. The accuracy of MAO projections is important because these projections also affect the extent to which MA beneficiaries receive additional benefits not provided under FFS and the amounts beneficiaries pay in cost sharing and premiums. This report focuses on how MAO 2005 actual med. exp., non-med. exp., and profits compare to projections for the same year. Illus.

Book excerpt: Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) contract with a network of providers to manage health care delivery to their enrollees. MAOs can initiate or terminate contracts with providers at any time for any reason. Recently, some MAOs have been narrowing their provider networks, prompting concerns about ensuring enrollee access to care and CMS's oversight of MAO compliance with network adequacy criteria. This report examines (1) how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defines network adequacy and how its criteria compares with other programs; (2) how and when CMS applies its criteria; and (3) the extent to which CMS conducts ongoing monitoring of MAO networks; and (4) how CMS ensures that MAOs inform beneficiaries about terminations.

Download or read book Medicare Advantage Organizations written by James C. Cosgrove and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations offer an alternative to the original Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) program. Payments to MA organizations are, in part, based on the revenue and expenditure projections MA organizations submit to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-the agency that administers Medicare-prior to the start of each contract year. Once Medicare payments are determined, they are not modified based on differences between actual and projected expenses. In February 2008, we reported that, on average, MA organizations projected they would spend approximately 87 percent of their 2007 revenue on medical expenses, 9 percent on non-medical expenses, and that the remaining 4 percent would go to profits. The accuracy of MA organizations' projections is important because, in addition to determining Medicare payments, these projections also affect the extent to which MA beneficiaries receive additional benefits not provided under FFS and the amounts beneficiaries pay in cost sharing and premiums.
