195.910 Medicare Advantage Plan Transparency
The Medical Society of New York advocates that the AMA supports legislation and administrative rulemaking that would prohibit the use of the term “Medicare” for a private insurance entity for health care and support legislation such as the “Save Medicare Act” and similar legislative efforts.
The Medical Society of New York also advocates that the AMA supports legislation and administrative rulemaking that would educate consumers about the restrictions of hospitals, doctors, long–term care, and medications in these plans, often limiting continued care with their existing physicians or other health care providers.
The Medical Society of New York also urges the AMA to advocate for legislation and regulatory rules that require all such plans to provide corrective advertising to show that they are restricting and limiting healthcare choices, including hospitals and long–term care and rehabilitation facilities, and physicians and limiting medications, in the interest of corporate profit.
