Feds to add special enrollment period for Medicare Advantage in Pennsylvania

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will allow about 1,300 Highmark Medicare Advantage members a chance to change their insurance providers, well ahead of the usual Jan. 1 plan date. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, said he was told by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar that CMS would be announcing the special enrollment period for sometime in the summer.
