Biden-Harris Administration Finalizes Rule Expanding Access to Care and Increasing Protections for People with Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is finalizing policies that strengthen enrollee protections to ensure Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans meet the needs of people with Medicare. The final rule builds on existing CMS policies to promote competition, increase access to care, and protect individuals from inappropriate marketing and prior authorization. CMS is taking bold steps to address predatory marketing strategies to help individuals find the plan that best suits their needs.
