This month, members of the SKIHA program (free registration) are granted complimentary access to the RAM report, The Healthcare Revolution and Its Impact on Medicare Advantage.
CMS has revealed significant changes to policies governing health care delivery. New options in benefit design for Medicare Advantage plans are expanding opportunities for health plans to bend the cost curve. This includes flexibility in designing benefits to cover factors of health that have previously been outside the purview of healthcare, including access to healthy food, transportation to medical appointments / fitness opportunities and even personal home helpers. Additionally, consumer demand for convenience is also driving innovation. Medicare Advantage health plans are looking for creative ways to leverage these changes form CMS, designing benefit plans that not only appeal to aging seniors but also help to improve outcomes while controlling costs.
"More than ever seniors want to live independently and age in place, and these changes in the Medicare Advantage program help to make that possible," said Christopher P. Minton, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RAM Technologies, Inc. "New options in benefit design are being implemented by Medicare Advantage plans, shifting the focus from institutionalized care; to keeping the senior in the comfort of his or her home.
