Medicare proposes protection when a plan's doctor list is wrong
Published
CMS reviews found errors in about 44% of Medicare Advantage directory listings. A new proposal would make plans check their directories every 90 days and remove departed doctors within five business days starting in 2028. If a plan listed a doctor as in-network when you booked but they weren't when you were seen, you'd pay only the in-network share. Comments are due Dec. 15.
