Implications Of Medicare Advantage Growth
In a Datawatch article published in Health Affairs, Erin Trish and
colleagues examine steady growth in Medicare Advantage (MA)
<[link removed]>
and its implications for reform.
The authors report that MA enrollment increased by 337.0 percent from
2006 through 2022. In that same period, traditional Medicare enrollment
declined by 2.9 percent.
They suggest that if these trends continue, MA enrollment will soon
overtake traditional Medicare enrollment, which could have significant
implications for reform.
"These trends may raise concerns about the stability and accuracy of MA
benchmarks, the target against which MA plans bid," assert Trish and
colleagues.
"Because these benchmarks are set according to spending among
traditional Medicare beneficiaries in the county, using spending data
from residual traditional Medicare enrollees may become an increasing
concern as MA penetration rises."
Check out Trish and colleagues' article and the newest issue of Health
Affairs.
