  • Title: The current state of affairs in managed care: lessons learned and the impact of Medicare advantage.
    Author: Trueman CA.
    Journal: Caring; 2008 Jan; 27(1):6-7, 1. PubMed ID: 18309805.
    Abstract:
    Of all Medicare eligible beneficiaries, currently only 20 percent (approximately 8 million enrollees) are in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, that number expected to grow rapidly. However, the payment is more pronounced to these plans, which are being reimbursed as much as 120 percent more than under traditional Medicare. This growth combined with current payment policies, will increase net costs to Medicare because payments made to MA plans exceed costs under the traditional FFS program.
