Recent Medicare Advantage and Part D issuances reflect significant policy and operational changes for the two programs. The Final Regulation and the Final Call Letter, both released on April 2, span over 1,400 pages in new regulations and subregulatory guidance. Join McDermott's Managed Care team for the first of a two-part webinar series on key changes implemented by CMS in April along with critical takeaways for health plans, other industry stakeholders, and their counsel.
