extraction_notes: "Two major claims extracted: (1) the $1.2T overpayment projection with equal split between coding and selection, and (2) the structural nature of favorable selection as a legal plan design feature rather than fraud. Four enrichments applied to existing MA/Medicare fiscal claims. The favorable selection mechanism is the less-discussed half of the overpayment equation and deserved its own claim as curator notes suggested. No entity data in this source—pure policy analysis and fiscal projections."

PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[value-based care transitions stall at the payment boundary because 60 percent of payments touch value metrics but only 14 percent bear full risk]]
WHY ARCHIVED: Quantifies the fiscal stakes of MA reform — connects insurance market structure to Medicare solvency timeline.
EXTRACTION HINT: The favorable selection mechanism deserves its own claim — it's the less-discussed half of the overpayment equation.
## Key Facts
- MA overpayments: $1.2 trillion over 2025-2034 (MedPAC data via CRFB)
- Coding intensity overpayments: $600B total ($260B trust fund, $110B beneficiary premiums)
- Favorable selection overpayments: $580B total ($250B trust fund, $110B beneficiary premiums)
- MA plans see 10% net payment increase from coding intensity despite 5.9% CMS adjustment
- Favorable selection causes MA costs to run 11% higher than FFS in 2025
- CBO estimate: reducing MA benchmarks could save $489B
- CBO estimate: raising coding adjustment from 5.9% to 20% could reduce deficits by >$1T
