THE SUMMIT IS THE ONLY EVENT THAT BRINGS TOGETHER PLANS, PROVIDERS, PATIENTS AND GOVERNMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY, COST AND ACCESS IN MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

WELCOME BY BETTER MEDICARE ALLIANCE

We welcome you to the Second National Medicare Advantage Summit.

Today, more than one in three Medicare beneficiaries are choosing to receive Medicare benefits through Medicare Advantage. 20 million beneficiaries appreciate the affordability, simplicity, quality care, and enhanced benefits available in Medicare Advantage.

In turn, providers support Medicare Advantage because it provides an effective framework to care for our country’s growing and increasingly complex Medicare patient population. They recognize that Medicare Advantage enables care the way it should be, with patient-centered primary care, early intervention, and care coordination, particularly for those with multiple chronic conditions.

Data show that by emphasizing early intervention and better care management, Medicare Advantage beneficiaries use the most appropriate site of care and avoid adverse, high cost events such as unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations. Medicare Advantage is also leading the way in forging the value-driven partnerships between plans, providers, and community partners needed to reduce cost and improve outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries.

Medicare Advantage, as a successful public-private partnership offers more choice and value for beneficiaries. Both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate, as well as plans, providers, and millions of beneficiaries, all recognize the value of Medicare Advantage. The Administration has put forth policies to encourage a positive and stable environment for Medicare Advantage to continue to lead the way in flexibility and innovation that improves patient’s experience and outcomes.

Our advocacy work at Better Medicare Alliance is informed by our community of over 100 allies and hundreds of thousands of beneficiary advocates who share in our mission to build a healthy future for older American and those eligible for Medicare by advocating for a strong Medicare Advantage.

We look forward to having you, as policymakers, providers, insurers, community partners and advocates share your expertise and experiences at the 2018 MA Summit. Your contributions to innovative coverage and care available in Medicare Advantage is building that healthier future, today.
