“Provider-sponsored Medicare Advantage plans seeing big growth in membership,” by John Gregory, HealthExec

Quote:

“The growth in Medicare Advantage (MA) membership has benefited hospitals and physician groups that operate their own plans, with total enrollment increasing by more than 20 percent to three million beneficiaries since 2015. … The three million people in provider-sponsored MA plans, however, only represents about 14 percent of all MA enrollees nationwide. Plans offered by insurers like UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Aetna still dominate the market and actually saw greater enrollment growth of 24 percent over the same time period.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

A developing trend to watch.
