The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a significant expansion of its auditing efforts for Medicare Advantage plans. This initiative includes collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG) to recover uncollected overpayments identified in past audits.
This regulatory action signals increased scrutiny on Medicare Advantage plans, which could lead to financial implications for major healthcare providers like Centene Corporation. The focus on recovering overpayments may result in additional liabilities or adjustments for insurers.
The expanded audits aim to ensure program integrity and proper billing practices within the Medicare Advantage system. Health insurers are expected to face heightened compliance requirements and potential financial impacts from these intensified oversight measures.
