The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Medicare Advantage and Part D organizations, including Anthem, will implement a new initiative, the Preclusion List, to protect the integrity of the Medicare Trust Funds. Beginning April 1, 2019, Medicare Advantage and Part D organizations will deny payment for items and services furnished by providers that CMS has placed on the Preclusion List.
