This video by Danika Turner is an introduction to Medicare Advantage revenue, specifically focusing on how Part C revenue works for individual Medicare Advantage plans. It explains how health plans participating in the Medicare Advantage program are paid by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), including the impact of Star ratings, risk adjustment, and county-level CMS benchmark rates on revenue. The session aims to simplify the main variables of the revenue calculation and uses conceptual examples for individual MA plans, excluding certain populations like Employer Group Waiver Plans and members with End-Stage Renal Disease or in hospice. The video also covers the basics of Medicare-covered services, mandatory and optional supplemental benefits, and the calculation steps for determining CMS Part C revenue per member per month.
