Book excerpt: Examines the potential effects of policy changes on (1) the growth of Medicare's managed care program, (2) employers' attempts to administer their respective benefits seasons, (3) taxpayer savings measured against beneficiary protections, & (4) the resources needed by the federal agency that runs Medicare's day-to-day operations. Because a specific annual enrollment period could be established without also limiting beneficiaries' opportunities to change to fee for service, it also discusses the effects of the two policy changes (limiting the enrollment period, & limiting disenrollment opportunities) separately.

Book excerpt: Medicare costs have grown rapidly during the 1990s, & are estimated to increase an average of 8.4% a year through FY 2002. To slow this growth rate, proposals have been made to encourage beneficiaries to join managed care plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare beneficiaries are rapidly moving into managed care, as attempts to restrain the growth of this costly entitlement program progress. However, advocates for patients question whether the necessary information and structures are in place to enable Medicare consumers to select wisely among private-sector managed care options. Improving the Medicare Market examines how to give Medicare beneficiaries the same choice of health plan options enjoyed in the private sectorâ€"yet protect them as consumers and patients. This book recommends approaches to ensuring accountability and informed purchasing for Medicare beneficiaries in an environment of broader choice and managed careâ€"how the government should evaluate and approve plans, what role the traditional Medicare program should play, how to help to elderly understand their options, and many other practical matters. The committee discusses the information requirements of Medicare beneficiaries and explores in detail how best to respond to their special needs. And it examines the procedures that should be developed to provide the necessary protections for the elderly in a managed care system.
