Unpacking the 2023 MA and Part D Advance Notice

Since CMS dropped the 2023 Medicare Advantage and Part D Advance Notice last month, there has been a lot of speculation about what plan performance will look like in the coming years, yet one thing is clear: change is on the horizon, and it may arrive sooner than later.

To help you adapt your quality improvement strategies, Healthmine EVP of Consulting & Professional Services Melissa Smith broke down the top things you need to know about the 2023 Advance Notice and what you can do now in a recent article, but she still had plenty of insights leftover to share with you. Alongside VP of Consulting & Professional Services Dwight Pattison and Senior Consultant Cynthia Pawley-Martin, Melissa presented an in-depth webinar on the laundry list of proposed measure changes in the Advance Notice and how you can begin evolving your strategies to prepare for the future.
