Kathy Roe Presents Live on Medicare Parts C & D Fundamentals at AHLA Conference

On March 23, 2022, Health Law Consultancy’s Kathy Roe helped kick off one of the first American Health Law Association in-person conferences in over two years. Roe presented on Medicare Parts C and D as part of the opening Medicare Fundamentals panel for AHLA’s Institute on Medicare & Medicaid Payment Issues in Baltimore.  Roe explained the operations of Medicare Part C, which is the Medicare Advantage program. and Medicare Part D, which is the Medicare Prescription Drug program. These Medicare programs enable private health insurers and other risk-bearing entities to offer Medicare benefit plans to Medicare beneficiaries by contracting with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.  Roe’s remarks highlighted the growth of Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug plans as substantial business opportunities, which presaged later observations by federal government presenters at the Institute.
