The findings indicate that fully integrated dual-eligible special needs plans (FIDE-SNPs) had significantly lower disenrollment rates compared to other MA plans, suggesting improved member retention and potentially better care experiences.
Is enrollment in Medicare Advantage plans with greater degrees of integration associated with lower plan disenrollment rates?
In this cross-sectional study of 2.7 million dually eligible Medicare beneficiaries, dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in fully integrated dual-eligible special needs plans had substantially lower disenrollment rates compared with beneficiaries enrolled in other Medicare Advantage plan types.
The study results suggest that fully integrated plans retained their members at higher rates, which could be a sign of improved care experiences.
