In “MAOs Face Payment-Related Unknowns, Increased Competition,” AIS Health’s RADAR on Medicare Advantage publication turned to Faegre Drinker Consulting Principal Mike Adelberg for insight on what Medicare Advantage organizations (MAO) might face when doing business in 2022.
First, Adelberg outlined four of the biggest challenges or uncertainties for MAOs in the coming year from his perspective, such as whether and how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services seek to extrapolate risk adjustment audits.
