The research demonstrates how Medicare Advantage continues to innovate and enhance benefit offerings, even in the face of the extraordinary circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, 57% of Medicare Advantage plans now provide a meal benefit while 46% of plans offer transportation to and from physician appointments. Nearly a quarter of Medicare Advantage plans even provide acupuncture as a covered supplemental benefit.
