Overview

Mission

To facilitate the compliance of medicare advantage health plans (MA Plans) throughout the united states with federal regulations and requirements.

What it reported doing in 2025

(MAPA) serves as a conduit for open discussion and information sharing among it members and with federal officials regarding how member plans can better understand and achieve compliance with the centers for medicare and medicaid services.(CMS) Guidelines and enforcement policies and how federal practices and procedures can be clarified and consistently understood by the medicare advantage industry in order to better serve the beneficiary. MAPA works collegially with CMS to familiarize CMS staff on the effects of federal regulations and policies on the compliance efforts and practices of MA plans and to improve communications between the MA industry and CMS. Since its inception MAPA has conferenced with the centers for medicare and medicaid services on a quarterly basis to discuss compliance issues affecting the plans and to offer changes/solutions to the rules and regulatons that will help the plans become more compliant and to better service the beneficiary.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
