Responding to High-Need Populations: Medicare Policy in Action

Thursday, November 13, 8:30 to 10:00am, Property: Hyatt Regency Seattle, Floor: 5th Floor, Room: 512 - Willapa

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

Medicare is evolving to meet the needs of high-risk populations, with major implications for how beneficiaries access and experience care. This panel presents four empirical studies that examine: how individuals with new high-need diagnoses navigate plan choices; how expanded eligibility under the Cures Act has shifted the Medicare Advantage (MA) landscape for ESKD patients; how the Inflation Reduction Act’s insulin copay cap has affected access and outcomes; and how Medicare Coverage shapes Treatment of Opioid use disorder. Together, these studies reveal how policy design and beneficiary response shape care for complex populations.
