Medicare annual preventive care visits: use increased among fee-for-service patients, but many do not participate.
The researchers find that, following the implementation of the Affordable Care Act which expanded Medicare coverage to fully cover annual preventive care visits, the annual use of preventive visits among Medicare fee-for-service patients rose from 1.7 percent to 27.5 percent. However, the increased rates are still 10-20 percentage points lower than those with private or Medicare HMO coverage.
