Increasing Medicare Advantage payments for full Medicaid enrollees was not associated with meaningful changes in inpatient or nursing home use.

Among Medicare Advantage enrollees, the mortality of Hispanic enrollees in Puerto Rico was significantly higher than that of Hispanic enrollees in the US during 2010-2022.

The risk-adjusted 1-year mortality rate was not different between Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare beneficiaries with kidney failure who initiated dialysis.

Medicare Advantage enrollees, particularly those with lower out-of-network benefits, may have restricted access to top-ranked hospitals for complex cancer care compared with traditional Medicare enrollees.
