WASHINGTON, D.C., Jul 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The BMA 2019 Medicare Advantage Summit has announced Seema Verma, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), as a keynote speaker. The Administrator is scheduled to speak to attendees at the general session on Monday, July 22, at 10:00 a.m.
CMS and the Administrator are working to transform the health care system to empower patients. In the past years CMS has given plans flexibility to offer more choices to beneficiaries and eliminate burdens in the Medicare Advantage Program. The agency has expanded the definition of health-related supplemental benefits in MA and starting in 2020, chronically ill beneficiaries will be offered a broader range of supplemental benefits that are not health related to deliver better health outcomes for patients. During her keynote, Administrator Verma will discuss the Future of Medicare and how we can transform our health care system to deliver better value and results for patients through competition and innovation.
“The Administrator’s focus on empowering beneficiaries to make informed choices and her support for innovation in Medicare Advantage have given plans, providers and beneficiaries the tools to improve care for millions of people in Medicare. We look forward to her remarks at the Summit.” said Allyson Y. Schwartz, BMA President and CEO.
