This drop does not prove the suit’s claims of overbilling, but it allows for the possibility. The Medicare Advantage program was supposed to save taxpayers money by allowing insurers to offer older Americans private alternatives to Medicare. The plans now cover 19 million people, a third of all those who qualify for Medicare. But the new law requires that beneficiaries pay more in premiums, and it also limits how much they can be reimbursed from their own pockets.
