Who is reporting Marketing Violations to CMS?
CMS has requested community organizations to report agents who violate Medicare Advantage marketing guidelines. Senior advocate organizations, such as Area Agency on Aging, senior housing, and other senior businesses are now part of the CMS surveillance program. Copeland Group has a zero tolerance policy for agents who do not sell with integrity or who violate CMS marketing guidelines.
