Dear Acting Administrator Slavitt,
I write to express concerns regarding the automatic enrollment of seniors into health insurance companies'

While it is important to ensure seniors do not have to worry about unnecessary paperwork, efficiency should not come at the expense of transparency. I request you review this practice and ensure CMS and participating insurance companies are being as transparent as possible with patients. Our seniors should understand the issues surrounding any scheduled automatic enrollment, the coverage these new plans will provide, any changes in cost, and their ability to opt out.
I also request CMS provide a detailed breakdown of the steps seniors must take to reverse any erroneous automatic enrollment. If any such process is at the discretion of participating insurance companies, I would ask that you work with these companies to ensure seniors are not only aware of any changes in their care, but are also promptly assisted to correct any errors.
Again, while I acknowledge that seamless conversion provides continuity of care and simplifies the administrative process, it should not come as a surprise to seniors that their health insurance coverage has changed.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter.
Sincerely,
