Description
Zissimopoulos, Joyce, and Jacobson published a cohort study in twenty twenty-three on new dementia diagnoses in Medicare. They compared people in Medicare Advantage plans with people in traditional Medicare from twenty sixteen through twenty twenty. Medicare began paying Advantage plans more for members with dementia again in twenty twenty, which raised hopes for better detection and fears of inflated coding.
The team used records for all Advantage members and all traditional Medicare members aged sixty-six and older. They tracked the yearly share of people with no prior dementia who got a first diagnosis. Rates were adjusted for age, sex, and race to match the twenty sixteen groups. The study shows how payment rules can shape how often a disease gets recorded.
