For those of you that aren’t aware, CMS posted the final notice awarding URAC deemed authority for Medicare Advantage in May. The renewal is effective May 31, 2019 – June 2, 2025 which is the standard 6-year period.

With that said, I want to give a huge thank you to Deborah Smith for her tireless work – this could not have been done without you. Also want to give a shout out to the entire PD team, Karen, Stephen (and the review team), Peggy, and Maggie for all of your work. And lastly, thank you to Aaron for your leadership and spearheading our work with CMS.

As you all know, this was really a long slog. It was truly a team effort and Aaron and I thank all of you for your contributions along the way.
