AHCA Requests Updated MA Member Data (SNF)

HCAM’s national affiliate, the American Health Care Association (AHCA), is re-releasing its Medicare Advantage (MA) data initiative for 2025, following its initial launch in 2024. Members are asked to share Medicare Advantage data using this tool​​ for August 2025 and/or September 2025 to support continued efforts to assess how plans are implementing new regulations, particularly those related to prior authorizations for skilled nursing facility care. The revised tracking tool includes administrative costs associated with these authorizations and appeals.

Please refer to the instructions tab for guidance on reporting and submission. All submissions will be de-identified and aggregated before sharing them with a PAC Coalition and policymakers to support continued advocacy for reforms and ensure beneficiary access to medically necessary post-acute care. Reach out to AHCA Population Health Policy Analyst Rohini Achal​ with questions.

This initiative aligns with ongoing federal oversight and growing attention to Medicare Advantage practices. A recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 2024 audit and enforcement report, as well as a July Congressional hearing, underscore the importance of collecting timely data to inform advocacy and policy efforts.
