This technical assistance tool highlights key dates in (1) the CMS bid and contracting process for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans (including D-SNPs), (2) the processes used to develop material templates for MA plans (including integrated material templates for applicable integrated plans), and (3) the Medicare Advantage enrollment process. The tool also describes specific considerations that states should keep in mind when developing requirements for state Medicaid agency contracts (SMACs), and it includes two quick-reference timelines to help states maintain awareness of the key dates presented within the tool.
