Out with the old, in with the new
Two new Medicare Supplement plans will be introduced on June 1, 2010, and will be added to the other current standardized plans. The new additions will be Plans N and M. Plan N will offer similar benefits to Plan F along with a $20 copayment for doctor visits and a $50 copayment for visits to the emergency room. Plan N will cost approximately 70 percent of the current Plan F depending on where you live.
Medicare Supplement Plans being eliminated: Plans E, H, I and J will no longer be offered as of June 1, 2010. the preventive care and at-home recovery benefits will also be eliminated from the standardized Medicare Supplement options.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans have been the same since 1992, when they became federally standardized. However, the June 1, 2010 addition of plans M and N will be the first major changes to the Medicare Supplement marketplace since 1992. Additional changes will be to the current plans A through G, which will be phased out, and a new set of A through G plans will be phased in. This is a little confusing because the beneficiaries who are currently enrolled in plans A through G can either stay in their current option or migrate to one of the new A through G plans. Hospice care will be added to all standardized plans, and the preventive and at-home recovery benefits eliminated.

The AP (4/14, Kennedy) reports, "Medicare fraud suspects would face longer prison sentences under a US House bill proposed Tuesday that also advocates biotechnology such as fingerprint scanning to ensure patients are getting the goods the government is billed for."
Breaking News – New Proposal
Law enforcement officials "have warned Medicare fraud, an estimated $60 billion annual crime, is now more lucrative than dealing drugs. Until now the penalties have been far less severe." But, the "Medicare Fraud Enforcement and Prevention Act will double prison sentences from 5 to 10 years and fines from $25,000 to $50,000 for Medicare fraud-related crimes," and "create a new crime for illegally distributing patients' Medicare or Medicaid IDs or billing information, which would carry a maximum 3-year sentence."
