The Biden administration is pushing for Medicare to cover obesity drugs, but also proposing changes to private Medicare plans. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are suggesting technical and policy changes to Medicare Advantage and Part D plans for 2026. More than half of Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, but issues such as denial of care and overpayment persist. The proposed rule aims to address concerns like misleading marketing, coverage barriers, and inaccurate provider directories. Ultimately, the Trump administration will decide which proposals are finalized. The focus is on improving private Medicare plans for better coverage and care.
