The 2027 Star Ratings preview is open, but CMS still hasn't said which measures it's using after Clover. Plans are redesigning for 2027 right now, in the dark. Run both calculations, assign the higher score & tell us the rules up front, says ACHP's Michael Bagel.

“There is still a phenomenal amount of work” ahead before #Medicaid work requirements go live on Jan 1st, ACHP’s Ceci Connolly told @modernhealthcare.bsky.social. States, plans & providers need clear guidance to get implementation right. More here: www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-reg...

The Administration says it wants #Medicaid verification built on data states already have, so people aren't buried in paperwork. That's exactly what ACHP has called for. Whether it works comes down to how states build it and the plans closest to patients can help them get it right.

Most Americans on #Medicaid already work or are in school. The new work requirements rule piles on documentation & tightens exemptions, making it harder for eligible people to keep the coverage they qualify for. The program's success should be measured by health outcomes, not coverage losses.

When Mythos dropped, Treasury & the Fed Reserve convened bank CEOs to coordinate a response. Health care got no such call. The AI cyber threat is here and "it's a much bigger threat on the health care side," ACHP's Dan Jones told @rebeccaadamsdc.bsky.social. Full article: achp.pub/4ur3RYQ

A year after the industry's pledge, patients are still waiting months for prescriptions. ACHP has been clear: prior authorization should be moving toward zero. President & CEO Ceci Connolly laid out the path forward in @nejm.org: catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

CMS Admin. Dr. Oz tells @achp-org.bsky.social this morning that he wants CMS to improve efficiency and “be the best payer out there.” But adds that “we have to move the ship in a very precise way” because with rising costs “we’re basically becoming one big healthcare system with a small country.”

We support a comprehensive #Medicare program, but the proposed coverage of weight-loss drugs is deeply concerning—policymakers need to focus on the exorbitant costs & appropriate utilization.
