- Abstract:
- Background and Purpose. This policy brief continues the RUPRI Center series that updates enrollment of rural beneficiaries in Medicare Advantage plans. Annual updates track changes in total enrollment and patterns that emerge, such as shifts among the types of MA plans (health maintenance organizations [HMOs], preferred provider organizations [PPOs], and other types of coordinated care plans), and regional and state differences. Key Findings. (1) Rural beneficiary enrollment in MA plans increased 9.5 percent from 2017 to 2018, from 2.4 million to 2.6 million. (2) Rural beneficiary enrollment in private fee-for-service MA plans declined sharply (from 54.5 percent of all MA plan enrollment to 3.9 percent) between 2009 and 2018, while rural enrollment in HMOs and local PPOs increased to 30.4 percent and 40.5 percent, respectively, of all MA plan enrollment.
