Medicare Switching
Lanlan Xu and coauthors at the Department of Health and Human Services
investigate trends in enrollment growth in Medicare Advantage (MA)
between 2006-22
,
including switching patterns between MA and traditional Medicare
Advantage.
Using data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Medicare
Enrollment Database, Xu and coauthors find that MA enrollment has grown
steadily since 2006, increasing from 6.3 million in December 2005 to
30.3 million in December 2022.
The researchers conclude that this trend was mainly driven by
beneficiaries who switched into MA from traditional fee-for-service
Medicare.
"By 2022, the switching rate from fee-for-service Medicare to MA
outpaced the switching rate from MA to fee-for-service Medicare by more
than six times."
