Primary Care Costs In Medicare Advantage
In their paper in the March issue of Health Affairs, Eran Politzer of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Harvard University and coauthors examine primary care physician costliness in Medicare Advantage (MA) networks ([link removed] ) .
Using national claims data from 2016-18, the researchers find that “the average primary care physician who participated in MA networks was $375 less costly than the average of all primary care physicians in the hospital referral region (HRR).” When weighted by enrollment, the average physician participating in MA networks was $433 less costly.
Politzer and coauthors also find similar levels of quality between primary care physicians in the average MA network-HRR and all primary care physicians in the HRR.
They conclude that selective contracting with providers might contribute to lower costs in MA.
