Signed into law on April 16, 2015 MACRA prohibits the sale of Medigap policies that cover Part B deductibles to “newly eligible” Medicare beneficiaries. "Individuals who turn 65 on or after January 1, 2020 or those who first become eligible for Medicare due to age, disability or end-stage renal disease, on or after January 1, 2020 will be affected notes Slome.
"MACRA is a most significant change and we'll have experts speaking at the conference who are focused on explaining the latest developments," Slome notes. After January 1, 2020 there are possible fines, imprisonment of not more than five years, and/or civil money penalties of not more than $25,000 for each prohibited act.
