Webinar replay: Leavitt Partners – The future of Medicare Advantage supplemental benefits

This webinar was held on April 4, 2024.

This webinar was offered by Leavitt Partners, an HMA company.

More than 30 million Americans are enrolled in MA plans and more than half of Medicare-eligible beneficiaries participate in the program—a number that was less than 30 percent just a decade ago. One reason Medicare beneficiaries opt to participate in MA plans is the ability to offer supplemental benefits, including dental, vision, hearing, transportation services, OTC items, an in-home support services. Initially limited to a core set of offerings, over the years, MA supplemental benefits have undergone significant changes that have led to a broader range of allowable benefits, an expansion of how benefits can be targeted, and, growth in the number of plans offering such benefits.

This webinar covered how to understand MA supplemental benefit growth and the current regulatory environment, including opportunities and threats; discovered the opportunities and challenges MA plans face in offering supplemental benefits; and learned about the issues supplemental benefit providers face in administering supplemental benefits.
