In 2026, that safety net disappears. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is shifting its stance. They no longer want to see your effort; they want to see your proof.

Not even past loss data and stable benchmarks will help. Take fraud + AI, for instance: a clear example of when emerging risks can be too new to make proper sense of them. For example, imagine you send money to someone you think is a colleague—they even call you on Teams and you can see ...
