This cohort study on the Medicare Advantage to traditional Medicare switching rate in the last year of life suggests that prior research, which showed increased spending due to this switch, may overstate its impact on future Medicare spending. ja.ma/3jGtlBY
New findings show broader changes in #postacutecare patterns during #covid19 than previously reported. Increased #homehealth use among Medicare beneficiaries was associated with shifts away from both skilled nursing facilities and home without PAC. lnkd.in/epWp67ws

Looking at #Medicare #postacutecare and #COVID19, we find that #homehealth volume remained stable in the later part of 2020, due to increased use among #COVID19 patients, which has offset decreased use among non-COVID patients. @GUHealthFinance bit.ly/3kFAaRD
