A new Government Accountability Office report indicates that Medicare Advantage plans were overpaid by between $1.2 billion and $3.1 billion in 2010. The report found that MA plans tend to overstate their beneficiaries' sicknesses, which triggers higher payments. House Democrats said the federal government could save billions of dollars annually by adjusting the coding formula used to determine payments.
