Medicare Advantage's $16 Billion Quality Bonus Program: Litigation, Reform, and Rising Costs
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of a lawsuit over the Medicare Advantage quality bonus program and its potential for reform.
Health Affairs Publishing's Jeff Byers welcomes Erica Socker of Georgetown University to the pod to discuss her recent Forefront article that explores how the Medicare Advantage quality bonus program is working in the wake of a Clover Health-CMS lawsuit over star ratings. They discuss the court’s ruling, CMS’s policy response, and why the case could become a catalyst for broader reforms to a program that now distributes billions of dollars annually.
