Abstract: This final rule implements provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) establishing and regulating the Medicare Advantage (MA) program. The MA program was enacted in Title II of The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) on December 8, 2003. The MA program replaces the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program established under Part C of the title XVIII of the Act, while retaining most key features of the M+C program. The MA program attempts to broadly reform and expand the availability of private health plan options to Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and Prescription Drug Plan Sponsors use the information to comply with the eligibility requirements and the MA and Part D contract requirements. CMS will use this information to ensure that correct information is disclosed to Medicare beneficiaries, both potential enrollees and enrollees.
