Medicare Advantage enrollees with more chronic conditions are not more likely to switch to fee-for-service Medicare, a study published June 26 in JAMA found.
The study, written by researchers at the Ohio State University in Columbus and George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., compared rates of switching from fee-to-service Medicare among enrollees with no or one chronic conditions, two to three chronic conditions, four to five chronic conditions and six or more chronic conditions.
The researchers found no significant differences in the rates of members leaving Medicare Advantage by the number of chronic conditions from 2009 to 2019.
