Susan Jaffe from KFF Health News just published an article today titled “Complaints About Gaps in Medicare Advantage Networks Are Common. Federal Enforcement Is Rare”.

The article features CCHCC (along with other organizations in other parts of the country) and a situation that happened in 2016 involving WellCare and their failure to maintain an adequate network when Christie Clinic left the plan’s network.

CCHCC’s Executive Director, Claudia Lennhoff, is quoted in the article.

Here is the article:

CCHCC continues to monitor network issues involving Medicare Advantage plans offered locally.

Medicare Advantage (and Part D) Open Enrollment ends on December 7, 2025.
