How Medicare Advantage is changing the value-based care landscape

Medicare spending is 21% of national health expenditures. Medicare Advantage plans address three challenges:

1. Overutilization: 29% of spending is on unnecessary services, with readmissions costing $15,500 each and a 16.9% rate.

2. Inappropriate emergency department use: Many visits could be managed elsewhere.

3. Preventive care underutilization: Value-based care improves outcomes, reducing missed cancer screenings.

In this infographic, see how value-based care tackles these issues and why Medicare Advantage enrollment results in 70% fewer readmissions and 25% fewer preventable admissions.
