Dr. Turner warns seniors to be wary of Medicare Advantage Plans: Letters

seacoastonline.com

Traditional Medicare spends ~98% of its budget on direct patient care while, as mentioned above, DCE’s can retain up to 40% of their revenues as profit. This arrangement provides an incentive for these DCE’s to restrict patient care. In 2019 Medicare spending was $330 billion but by 2025 it is projected that Medicare DCE’s could potentially collect $660 billion from the Medicare Trust Fund.

I would urge seniors to be very wary of signing up for Medicare Advantage Plans since like DCE’s, those plans are designed to improve financial outcomes, not clinical outcomes. Also I would urge everyone to call their Senators and Representative to encourage them to stop the dangerous DCE program. One could also contact Xavier Becerra—the Secretary of Health & Human Services.
