Comments
The Medicare Rights Center (Medicare Rights) is pleased to submit comments on the proposed Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2017.
These comments are informed by our experience working with Medicare beneficiaries and their families, particularly those approaching Medicare eligibility as well as individuals who erred while managing the transition to Medicare. Ensuring that older adults and people with disabilities receive appropriate notice and support to navigate the Medicare enrollment process continues to be a top priority for the Medicare Rights Center.
Any changes to the Medicare program must aim for healthier people, better care, and smarter spending—not paying more for less. As policymakers debate the future of health care, we will provide our insights here.
Thinking ahead to Medicare's future, it’s important to modernize benefits and pursue changes that improve how people with Medicare navigate their coverage on a daily basis. Here are our evolving 30 policy goals for Medicare’s future.
You can help protect and strengthen Medicare by taking action on the important issues we are following, subscribe to newsletter alerts, or follow along on social media. Any way you choose to get involved is a contribution that we appreciate greatly.
