Returning to normal
As evidenced by the MA and Part D final rule for 2022, CMS is planning in the following year a post-Covid-19 transition year for MA organizations and beneficiaries alike, without creating an avalanche of utilization after a long period of deferred time.
Fortunately, fully vaccinated members will be able to resume in-person care this year, meaning that the MA plans can expect a more consistent and reliable stream of data to have a better understanding of the financial projections. With the right data management, member outreach, and engagement tools, the transition from 2021 to 22 will be smoother for MA organizations.
