Ensuring Equal Medicare Advantage Benefits Across Puerto Rico
We commend Resident Commissioner, Pablo José Hernández, for introducing the Medicare Advantage Integrity Act of 2025, a vital step toward addressing the payment disparities that have long disadvantaged Puerto Rico within the Medicare Advantage program. By establishing a reasonable floor for benchmark rates in regions with high Medicare Advantage penetration, this bill ensures that seniors in Puerto Rico receive access to care and benefits comparable to those on the mainland. This measure strengthens the integrity of the program and guarantees that increased payments truly reach the patients and providers who need them most.
The Medicaid and Medicare Advantage Products Association (MMAPA) fully supports this effort and looks forward to working with Congress to make this reform a reality for our beneficiaries", expressed Solange De Lahongrais, president of MMAPA.
