Supporting Healthcare Options For America

Join Our Coalition

Did you know the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a rule that will make it harder for Americans to get the Medicare coverage that best fits their needs? The rule could impact field marketing organizations (FMOs) that play a vital role in supporting agents, brokers and insurance carriers. And that could lead to increased costs and fewer coverage options for people with Medicare.

At Americans for Beneficiary Choice, we’re working to ensure that FMOs can continue to support agents, brokers and carriers. We invite you to join us! You’ll be helping to ensure Medicare beneficiaries can still have access to helpful guidance and a wide range of coverage options. All without increasing costs to consumers.

Send a Personalized Email to Congress

Use the tool and form message below to reach out to your elected representatives in Congress directly. The form message is intended as a starting point. Personalize it by adding your own details to what’s already written. Here are some recommendations:

Review the email and add facts related to you. If you’re in the insurance industry, include information such as how long you’ve been in business, the number of agents you work with and consumers you serve, and the impact the CMS rule change would have on your business and Medicare beneficiaries. Do not include any details about earnings. If you’re a consumer, include relevant details about yourself and how important your Medicare coverage is to you.

Make sure the message conveys your personal point of view. Detail your specific concerns, such as how the CMS proposed rule would impact congressional constituents by making it more difficult for them to find the right plan. If you’re an Agent, outline the benefits you personally receive from your FMO, such as carrier choice, efficient technology, certification, compliance and training, and more. If you’re a consumer, share how you benefit from the helpful guidance provided by your Agent.
