Vertical Integration and Care Experiences Among Medicare Advantage Beneficiaries.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Medicare Advantage (MA) beneficiaries are increasingly enrolling in integrated MA plans. Legacy-integrated plans share unique features that may differ from newer integrated MA plans. It is unclear whether integrated and legacy-integrated MA plans are associated with a better beneficiary care experience compared with non-legacy-integrated and nonintegrated MA plans.

Objective

To assess whether enrollment in integrated, legacy-integrated, non-legacy-integrated, and nonintegrated MA plans is associated with better beneficiary care experiences.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study included MA beneficiaries who responded to Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys conducted annually between 2015 and 2019. Da
