The December 15 report (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d0925.pdf) said some PFFS plans charged cost-sharing fees that could be substantial and designed elaborate prenotification hurdles, leaving beneficiaries with higher costs than they would expect. Perhaps not surprisingly, from January through April 2007, about 21% of beneficiaries disenrolled from the PFFS plans; disenrollment ran about 9% for other Medicare Advantage plans.
