Medicare Advantage plans which focus on preventative services, result in lower utilization of high-cost health care services, lower overall costs for high-need beneficiaries, and better quality outcomes for similar groups of Medicare beneficiaries, including dual eligible and clinically complex beneficiaries, compared with Fee-for-Service Medicare, according to a new study from Avalere Health.

“The clinical characteristics and care needs of older adults are changing over time,” the authors of the study wrote. “More than half of the Medicare population has 4 or more chronic conditions. Effectively managing the delivery of care for Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions has the potential to improve the quality of life for these beneficiaries while reducing Medicare spending.”
