Reducing Medicare Advantage Benchmarks Will Decrease Plan Generosity,
But Those Effects Will Likely Be Modest
<[link removed]>

This paper, published in the April edition of Health Affairs by Michael
Chernew and colleagues, was released ahead-of-print in March. Journal
subscribers get timely access to new research and this is just one of
many ahead-of-print articles we publish on a monthly basis.

This release centers on Medicaid Advantage benchmarks.

Concerns that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are overpaid have motivated
calls to reduce MA benchmarks, but this might impact enrollee premiums
and benefits. Michael Chernew and coauthors examine how cuts to MA
benchmarks may affect plan generosity.

Chernew will also join us on A Health Podyssey
<[link removed]>
podcast to discuss the paper.

Last month, we published a cluster of research papers focused on lessons
for public health policy and practice arising from the COVID-19 pandemic
experience in the US.

This collection of articles expands the national dialogue on lessons
from the COVID-19 public health response.

Specifically, articles discuss trends in the public health workforce
during the pandemic, ways to improve coordination between public health
and medical care systems, strategies for mitigating community spread of
COVID-19 at the local level, and recommendations for modernizing
emergency health powers laws.
