Page 1: Growth Trends in Medicare Advantage

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

There are more than 77 million baby boomers in the United States and by 2030, this demographic (individulas born between 1946 and 1964) will represent an estimated 20% of the population. *U.S. Census Bureau

In 2013, 14.4 million Medicare beneficiaries (28% of the Medicare

population) were enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, an increase of more

than 1 million (9.7%) from 2012.

Despite concerns that payment changes

enacted in the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) would

lead to reductions in enrollment, enrollment has increased by 30

percent since 2010.

Growth in enrollment has occurred despite the fact that the average number of

plans available to enrollees nationwide declined from a high of 48 plans in 2009 to 20 plans in 2012 and 2013.

65% of Medicare Advantage enrollees are in HMOs; 22% are enrolled in local PPOs; 7% are

enrolled in regional PPOs; and 4% are enrolled in private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans.
