Medicare Advantage payment regulations include risk-adjusted capitated
reimbursement, which was implemented to discourage favorable risk selection and
encourage the retention of members who incur high costs. However, the extent to
which risk-adjusted capitation has succeeded is not clear, especially for members
using high-cost services not previously considered in assessments of risk
selection. We examined the rates at which participants who used three high-cost
services switched between Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare. We 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 (17 percent versus 3 percent),
short-term nursing home care (9 percent versus 4 percent), and home health care
(8 percent versus 3 percent). These results were magnified among people who were
enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. Our findings raise questions about the
role of Medicare Advantage plans in serving high-cost patients with complex care
needs, who account for a disproportionately high amount of total health care
spending.
