New CMS Regulations - Rules, Guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions
Earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented
a new regulation that will affect your Medicare Advantage (MA), Medicare Advantage
plus Part D (MA-PD) and Part D (PDP) business beginning October 1, 2022. To assist in
managing your compliance obligations, Senior Market Sales® (SMS) has put together this
brief informational summary of the important aspects of these new rules, coupled with
a list of changes you will need to implement in your interactions with beneficiaries.
Agents should note that the information provided by SMS in this overview should not be taken as
legal advice.
This article is intended as an informational summary to assist with common questions
related to the new CMS requirements for the 2023 Plan Year. It is not exhaustive and may be
affected by additional guidance from CMS and/or carriers. Agents are responsible for understanding
all legal, regulatory and compliance obligations that are applicable to them.
