Zoom Meeting
Following the release of the Advance Notice, plans are actively developing comments for submission to CMS ahead of the February 25 deadline. This open member call creates space for plans to come together and discuss the perspectives, priorities, and themes they’re considering as part of their comment letters.
The session is designed as an informal, peer driven discussion where members can share how they’re interpreting the Advance Notice, compare areas of focus, and talk through questions or concerns as they finalize submissions.
