The Facts About MA
MA coverage results in lower costs, better health outcomes and better value for America’s seniors and people with disabilities when compared with FFS.
Nearly 35 million Americans choose Medicare Advantage (MA) because it provides them with better care at lower costs than fee-for-service Medicare (FFS)
Medicare Advantage plans coordinate care for America’s seniors and people with disabilities, resulting in lower costs, better health outcomes and better value for patients. The 35 million Americans who choose an MA plan spend far less, on average, in premiums and out-of-pocket costs than those with FFS.
MA serves a population that is more clinically complex and more diverse than FFS, including a majority of beneficiaries who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. These are vulnerable, low-income seniors who count on the superior value, support and services MA provides.
The facts show MA decisively outperforms FFS on everything that seniors care about most: affordability, benefits and outcomes. That is why 35 million Americans and counting choose MA for their health care coverage.
