Benefits1™.Medicare from Simplify Healthcare® Powers More Than 30% of CMS PBP Submissions for the Eighth Consecutive Year
Powering over 30% of 2026 nationwide PBP submissions to CMS for the eighth consecutive year, Benefits1™.Medicare continues to set the benchmark for accuracy, compliance, and speed in Medicare bid management—trusted by Payers for more than eight years.
Simplify Healthcare®, a Simplify Group™ company and a leading organization in the healthcare payer technology space, today announced that its flagship platform, Benefits1™.Medicare, once again powered over 30% of nationwide Medicare Plan Benefit Package (PBP) submissions to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the June 1, 2026 filing deadline. Benefits1™.Medicare has maintained its position as the industry's most widely adopted Medicare bid management platform. The milestone highlights how health plans are increasingly leveraging automation and intelligent workflows to navigate growing regulatory and operational complexity.
The 2026 Medicare Advantage bid cycle presented significant challenges for health plans, including continued implementation of the V28 CMS-HCC risk adjustment model, rate pressure, Star Ratings recalibration, and heightened regulatory oversight. Health plans submitting bids in 2026 are doing so with less room for error, less time, and far higher stakes than in prior cycles.
