Trends in switching between #Medicare Advantage (MA) and traditional #Medicare (TM) show that switching behavior has changed over time, with switching into MA accounting for a larger portion of MA enrollment growth. @JAMAHealthForum @Arnold_Ventures https://t.co/TURliaI9LK

[JAMA Health Forum @JAMAHealthForum]

This cohort study on the Medicare Advantage to traditional Medicare switching rate in the last year of life suggests that prior research, which showed increased spending due to this switch, may overstate its impact on future Medicare spending. https://t.co/YYCZA5W7O6

[KNG Health @KNGHealth]

New findings show broader changes in #postacutecare patterns during #covid19 than previously reported. Increased #homehealth use among Medicare beneficiaries was associated with shifts away from both skilled nursing facilities and home without PAC. https://t.co/nayeMwt2iN

Our November KNG Health News has been released! Read about our latest research on the disparate impact of #COVID19 on #HomeHealthCare use in #Medicare and the different utilization patterns of beneficiaries with acute exacerbations of #chronicillness. https://t.co/42jscTky95

[KNG Health @KNGHealth]

#HeartFailure and #RespiratoryFailure are common causes of hospitalization and death. However, #Medicare risk-adjustment models do not separately account for acute exacerbations of these conditions. Read the recent KNG Health blog post to learn more! https://t.co/4tRrhl13dF

Which beneficiaries were more likely to receive home health care during COVID-19? https://t.co/Cm975cavK1

[KNG Health @KNGHealth]

During the #COVID19 PHE, non-COVID-19 Black #Medicare beneficiaries' likelihood of using #HHA and high-quality HHAs after a hospital stay increased more than for non-Black beneficiaries. Find out more in our recent study funded by @commonwealthfnd. https://t.co/RvuyuTOfgF

[KNG Health @KNGHealth]

Looking at #Medicare #postacutecare and #COVID19, we find that #homehealth volume remained stable in the later part of 2020, due to increased use among #COVID19 patients, which has offset decreased use among non-COVID patients. @GUHealthFinance https://t.co/UaXgNa7cWS
