Tell Your Senators to Exclude Independent Agents and Brokers from the Recording Requirements in MA Rule!

The “Medicare Program: Contract Year 2023 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Programs” rule includes a provision on new requirements for “marketing” calls. The intention of this rule is to stop fraudulent or misleading actors – such as certain call centers – from manipulating Medicare beneficiaries. However, the rule’s overly broad scope also applies these new regulations to licensed agents and brokers. As a result, this rule needlessly impacts agents who are acting responsibly.

On December 1st 2022, Senators Mike Rounds (R-SD) and James Risch (R-ID) introduced S. 5149, a bill that would exclude independent agents and brokers from the recording requirements in the Medicare Marketing Rule.

Contact your legislators today and urge them to support S. 5149!

Supporting the bill takes less than 60 seconds. Share with your clients!
