After a brief delay, CMS posted the February 2025 Medicare Advantage enrollment files, which the AIS data team processed for the Public-Sector Plan Enrollment report, posted to your subscriber dashboard.

CMS normally posts these files mid-month, but in February posted the files on Feb. 25. We will monitor these postings going forward to see if the expected dates have changed long-term. CMS also re-posted the January enrollment files, with no significant changes from the files originally posted.

In the meantime, the industry continues to adjust to the second Trump Administration while reporting 2024 financial results. Recent newsfeed topics include:
