High-cost patients had substantial rates of leaving Medicare Advantage and joining traditional Medicare.
The investigators examined the rates at which participants who used three high-cost services switched between Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare. They found that the switching rate from 2010 to 2011 away from Medicare Advantage and to traditional Medicare exceeded the switching rate in the opposite direction for participants who used long-term nursing home care, short-term nursing home care, and home health care. These results were magnified among people who were enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid.
