Jean Mancheno discusses how the Department of Health and Human Services' workforce reductions and organizational restructuring could affect Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, as well as health care providers. She explains that consolidating HHS regional offices and reducing staff may lead to delays in account management, provider enrollment, change of ownership approvals, surveys and enforcement activities, while also creating the potential for inconsistent regulatory oversight. She emphasizes that health plans and providers should prepare for operational disruptions and evolving compliance challenges as HHS implements its restructuring and adjusts to reduced staffing.
