DOES THE NAIC REGULATE MEDICARE AND MEDICADE?

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) does not directly regulate Medicare and Medicaid, as these programs are federally administered. Instead, the NAIC is an organization of state insurance regulators that focuses on insurance industry standards and practices. While it provides guidance and develops model laws, the regulation of Medicare and Medicaid falls under federal jurisdiction, primarily managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
