Which statement is not true about the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) regarding Plans C and F?

The statement indicating that consumers already enrolled in Plans C or F are required to change plans is not true. Under the provisions of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), existing beneficiaries who are currently enrolled in Plans C or F can maintain their coverage as long as they choose to do so. These plans remain available to those who were already enrolled before significant changes to the Medicare program were implemented due to MACRA.

MACRA primarily affects new enrollees. Beginning on January 1, 2020, new Medicare beneficiaries are not able to enroll in Plans C or F; instead, they must choose other plan options. As a result, those who were already enrolled in these plans before this date can continue their coverage without the need to switch plans, providing stability for existing beneficiaries. This context is crucial in understanding how MACRA impacts different groups of Medicare beneficiaries.
