Medicare Advantage, a frequent source of headaches for skilled nursing operators, remains overwhelmingly popular among seniors, according to a new poll — and its growth has come even as many enrollees remain unaware of their options when they turn 65.
About 94% of seniors with Medicare Advantage plans reported being “satisfied,” a poll commissioned by the Better Medicare Alliance found; that figure includes 65% of respondents who reported being “very satisfied.”
“A lot of beneficiaries are actually quite happy with their coverage and care,” Allyson Schwartz, president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Medicare Advantage advocacy group, told Skilled Nursing News.
