The ability for plans to respond to planned industry surveys was significantly reduced, especially during local government-imposed lockdowns, staff furloughs and the rapid shift to remote work for NADP staff and for member companies. As a reaction to this circumstance, the Research Commission revised the 2020 Industry Research Agenda to accommodate the situation. Several industry reports have been delayed due to lagging response from members; others were delayed by the Research Commission to accommodate resource limitations of member companies. A new report, Benefit Utilization, was changed to increase frequency of data collection deemed vital to inform NADP’s response to the pandemic, and a series of ad hoc surveys and reports was conducted to assess issues particular to pandemic response.

View This Post January 25, 2022 CMS Releases Final Rule on Medicaid Managed Care On Nov. 9, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final rule “Medicaid Program; Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Managed Care” (CMS 2408-F), which finalizes changes to Medicaid and CHIP managed care plan requirements alongside other alterations. In January 2019, NADP filed comments on the proposed rule, voicing support for changes in tagline requirements, grievance/appeals support, and asking for a carve-out for dental benefits in the existing MMC medical loss ratio reporting requirements. Both the information reporting requirements and grievance changes were finalized; however, the rule keeps the existing MLR framework in place.
