Growth In Medicare Advantage Greatest Among Black And Hispanic Enrollees

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Expansion of the Medicare Advantage program during 2009-18 saw greater enrollment among racial/ethnic minorities and other traditionally marginalized groups. Growth was more rapid among Black, Hispanic, and dually enrolled beneficiaries than among White and nondual beneficiaries. The implications of greater heterogeneity in the program for enrollee outcomes are uncertain.
