A few years back I sold FB but since have not. One of the people that I sold a MA to just called me. He said his doctor had a big sign in his office when he went this morning that said the practice would not accept FB Medicare in 2025. I am pretty sure the man didn't read it correctly but he is thinking FB is going to stop offering Medicare products. I told him we would have to wait until October to find out. Anybody know anything about this?

If he is an independent doctor without an MSO most likely he is not accepting FB next year. If that is the case some are out September 1st unless they ask for an extension. Not all docs are going to have a choice to be in the network.

A management services organization (MSO) is a health care specific administrative and management engine that provides a host of administrative and management functions necessary to be successful in the ever changing healthcare environment.
They handle the management and admin so the doctor doesn't have to.
That is not the only reason a doc may be dumped. They many not have many FB MAPD clients, there are many more reasons.

Oh, if he misread and it's what Chazm said they are discontinuing a couple MAPD's for 2025 Maybe more when you add in down south.
