As Global Biosimilars Week continues, it’s imperative policymakers prioritize biosimilar medicines to ensure timely market uptake - which results in more lower-cost treatment options for patients.

Medicare Advantage risk adjustment should reflect beneficiaries’ health care needs, not reward coding intensity. In a new letter to @CMSGov, ACHP outlines recommendations for developing an inferred risk adjustment model that improves accuracy and supports fair competition.

Join ACHP and Credo Health at 3:30 p.m. ET to explore how better clinical data can support more accurate risk adjustment and stronger quality outcomes. Don’t miss it.

The quality star ratings for Medicare Advantage came out last night and the big takeaway is that @_ACHP’s local health plans continue to dominate the top of the charts. Equally important, our members distinguish themselves on measures that matter. Watch this space for more info.

[Ceci Connolly @CeciConnolly]

It’s a trend in the @_ACHP membership. We are oversubscribed at the top of the quality charts; we’re local and we collaborate with your doctors. We’re designed to be different.

$496B in savings shows the power of biosimilars. ACHP member companies have adoption rates above 90%, generating millions in savings & lowering Rx costs for patients, but policymakers must adopt a framework that makes them sustainable. More stats by @AccessibleMeds: https://t.co/PS5lR4tuTu

[Specialty Pharmacy Continuum @SpecialtyPharm]

Generics and biosimilars saved the U.S. system $496B in 2025 alone. But AAM's CEO warns the pricing pressure behind those savings is pushing some manufacturers toward the exit.

What if AI could serve as a GPS for surgeons?

In a first for Sutter, Dr. Hernan Bazan and the surgery team at Sutter's CPMC used AI-assisted fusion imaging to help treat an 86-year-old patient with severely blocked arteries. The technology transformed her CT scan into a patient-specific 3D roadmap, helping guide the team during a minimally invasive endovascular procedure. Read more: https://t.co/ZbTt2rbrJf.

[CSRxP @RxPricing]

Reporting from @Axios highlights concerns about slowdown in biosimilar development & the potential consequences for patients & the U.S. health care system. This underscores the urgency for bipartisan, market-based solutions that would support greater biosimilar competition. More:

@CMSGov Read ACHP’s full comment letter: https://t.co/6fNELq7s88

[Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP) @_ACHP]

Provider taxes are a cornerstone of state #Medicaid financing. ACHP urges @CMSGov to preserve prospective compliance, retain the 75/75 test and avoid restrictions beyond those Congress enacted. Stable financing protects access to care.

[Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP) @_ACHP]

Our comment letter makes the same case other @ModernMedicaid partners do: this rule impacts patients, providers, states & communities alike. ACHP member companies are ready to help states implement it w/o eligible people losing coverage because of paperwork. More in the blog 👇

[Modern Medicaid Alliance @ModernMedicaid]

MMA partners are among the more than 43,000 commenters who responded to CMS’ recent interim final rule on #Medicaid work requirement implementation. Their comments raise concerns about the rule's wide-ranging effects on patients, providers, states and communities. Read our latest blog to hear from stakeholders and experts, in their own words, about how federal work requirements could affect Medicaid coverage and care for millions across the country: https://t.co/VtcHSICH8y

[Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP) @_ACHP]

Our member companies already deliver medically tailored meals that help patients manage chronic disease. H.R. 5439 builds the Medicare evidence base to scale what works. ACHP is proud to support this bipartisan bill from @RepMcGovern & @RepNicole.

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

PASSED: The Ways and Means Committee just passed H.R. 5439, the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act.

Introduced by @RepNicole, this bill would create access to healthy, medically necessary, home-delivered meals for Medicare seniors and evaluate how this approach can be part of the solution to achieving better health outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions.

[Kaiser Permanente @aboutKP]

We're proud that for the 11th year in a row, we have more 4.5 and 5-star plans than any other health care organization, according to the @NCQA. Thank you to our care teams for their commitment to providing high-quality care and service.

While others retreat from Medicare Advantage, @hapmichigan grew enrollment by 45.8% & expanded across Michigan.

When the health plan and the care team answer to the same community, staying put isn't a gamble. It's the model.
