CMS Issues Updated Medicare Advantage Complaint Form

What’s happening: As previously reported, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has developed a process that allows providers to submit questions and complaints related to Medicare Advantage (MA) plan appeals or claims payment issues. 

What else to know: The form serves as a mechanism for Medicare providers seeking CMS assistance to resolve specific MA claims issues; CMS will enter complete complaint forms into the complaints tracking module and direct the MA to investigate the case.   

Additionally, CMS provides information on how to report policy issues, including concerns related to network adequacy and utilization management.
