Impactful Policy Frameworks
CMS Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D Final Rule (CMS-4201-F)
The 2024 CMS Medicare Advantage and Part D Final Rule includes significant changes such as updates to the Star Ratings program, requirements for health equity-related data collection, and modifications to marketing and agent/broker compensation rules to protect beneficiaries.
This policy directly impacts Belong Health by requiring adaptation of its product design, sales & marketing strategies, and risk & quality management to align with new Star Ratings methodologies and health equity mandates, while navigating stricter marketing regulations.
CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F)
Though enacted in 2020, its ongoing implementation and enforcement in 2024 continue to push for greater data exchange and patient access to their health information, requiring payers to implement API-based data sharing.
This rule necessitates Belong Health's 'Belong Connect' platform to ensure robust interoperability and data exchange capabilities, facilitating seamless information flow between its partners, providers, and members.
Continued Focus on Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) within MA and ACO REACH
While not a single rule, CMS continues to expand flexibility and incentivize MA plans and ACOs (like ACO REACH) to address beneficiaries' social needs through supplemental benefits and care coordination, with increased scrutiny on effectiveness and reporting.
Belong Health's Concierge Care Navigation, including SDoH assessment and interventions, is directly bolstered by and must align with these evolving CMS incentives and reporting requirements to maximize impact and shared savings for its partners.
