CMS Extends Additional Flexibilities to Ensure MA, Special Needs Plan Care During Pandemic

“Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 emergency, these flexibilities, in general, make a lot of sense,” Michael Adelberg, a principal with Faegre Drinker Consulting and a former CMS official, says of the 10-page document issued to MA and Part D sponsors on April 21.
