New HCAOA Associate Member, Trella Health, Shares Medicare Advantage Data

In a recent blog post, HCAOA’s newest Associate Member, Trella Health, a leading provider of actionable insights for healthcare networks, ACOs, and the post-acute care market, shared interesting insights and Medicare Advantage data. Medicare Advantage by the numbers:

---

46.6%: The total National Medicare Advantage penetration as of March 2021. And this percentage is only expected to grow in the coming years.

• 9.5%: The increase in Medicare Advantage enrollments from 2019 to 2020. With an equally shocking 2.5% decrease in FFS enrollments between 2019 and 2020, it looks like this is one trend that’s not likely to slow down.
• 5: The number of states with more than 50% Medicare Advantage penetration as of Q4 2020. Post-Acute organizations in Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, Rhode Island, and Alabama need to be watching Medicare Advantage trends – these enrollees make up more than half of your eligible population, on average.
• ​8.3%: The average year-over-year growth for Medicare Advantage enrollments for the last five full years (2016-2020). Conversely, Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) enrollment has decreased by an average of 1.1% in that same period.
• 684: The number of individual counties with a Medicare Advantage penetration higher than the national average. In fact, in Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Ottawa counties, more than 70% of the eligible population is enrolled in an MA plan.
