The Congress should direct the Secretary to improve the Medicare Advantage (MA) risk-adjustment system to more accurately predict risk across all MA enrollees. Using the revised risk-adjustment system, the Congress should direct the Secretary to pay Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly providers based on the MA payment system for setting benchmarks and quality bonuses. These changes should occur no later than 2015.
