The proposal would require Medicare Advantage insurance organizations to report detailed information about the agents and brokers who sell their plans, including data on compensation, complaints, and disciplinary actions. This increased transparency would help Medicare officials and consumers better understand who is selling these plans and whether there are any problems with how they operate. The change affects insurance companies offering Medicare Advantage coverage, the brokers and agents who sell these plans, and the millions of seniors enrolled in them.
