Small plans may be excused and scores are posted from 2029
What the document says“Beginning with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2029, the Secretary shall post accuracy scores (as reported under subparagraph (A)(ii)), in a machine readable file, on an internet website maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.''.”
The new paragraph lets the Secretary waive its requirements for a specified MA plan with low enrollment, as the Secretary defines that. From plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2029, the Secretary must post the accuracy scores in a machine readable file on a website of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
What the document actually says“Beginning with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2029, the Secretary shall post accuracy scores (as reported under subparagraph (A)(ii)), in a machine readable file, on an internet website maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.''.”
From plan year 2029 the health chief must post the scores online. They must be in a form a computer can read.
A plan with few people signed up may be let off. For the rest, the scores go public. Anyone can compare one plan with another.
