Differences between the CMS-Required Benefit and the ASH Medicare Advantage Supplemental Benefit options

ASH administers both CMS-required and Medicare Advantage supplemental benefit programs.

ASH Medicare Advantage supplemental benefit options (SBO) provide coverage for services that are not covered by the CMS-required benefits, or extend coverage for CMS-required benefits. These SBO programs provide easier access and broader coverage to improve the health of members and increase the value of the Medicare Advantage benefit offering.
ASH manages the Medicare Advantage CMS-required benefits allowing the Medicare Advantage plan to optimize the clinical effectiveness and cost efficiency of the clinical services provided by ASH credentialed providers and the ASH administration systems.
