Support legal action to hold plans accountable.
Use litigation to expose and challenge systematic denial practices and other non-compliance that harms beneficiaries. Back cases that force discovery of internal plan directives and that secure enforceable remedies through settlements or judgments. Pair class-action and whistleblower pathways (where applicable) so legal pressure is not limited to one route.
Why this works
- Litigation can compel discovery of internal plan documents, revealing whether there were profit-driven directives to deny/delay care.
- A successful lawsuit or settlement could force changes in plan behavior and compensate harmed seniors.
- The mere threat of legal liability might make MA organizations more cautious about non-compliance.

Center for Food Safety (CFS) is a public-interest environmental advocacy group that uses litigation, policy, and grassroots organizing to protect human health and the environment from harms of industrial agriculture.
Mechanism
How Center for Food Safety uses funding
- Identify patterns of improper denials and build a record with affected beneficiaries.
- Support litigation where plan policies violate Medicare rules or contractual obligations.
- Back whistleblower pathways that allege overbilling, upcoding, or denial practices that violate program rules.
- Use discovery to surface internal plan documents and decision criteria.
- Coordinate with policy and media work so legal findings drive oversight pressure.
