CMS proposes Medicare Advantage, Part D payment changes for CY 2024
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will accept comments through March 3 on its advance notice of proposed changes to Medicare Advantage plan capitation rates and Part C and Part D payment policies for calendar year 2024, which the agency estimates will increase MA plan revenues by an average 1.03%. The notice proposes updating the Part C risk adjustment model to reflect ICD-10 condition categories, 2018 fee-for-service diagnoses and 2019 FFS expenditures; and Part C and Part D Star Ratings to reflect the latest regulations. It also describes changes and additions to the standard Part D drug benefit under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. CMS expects to publish the final 2024 rate announcement by April 3.
