Medicare Advantage (MA), first launched in 1997, provides a managed care alternative for Medicare beneficiaries, designed to reduce costs and improve outcomes. Participation has risen steadily, and as of August 2018, MA plans cover more than 21 million members, who account for 35% of all Medicare enrollment. This number is expected to reach 50% by 2025, according to the The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
