Abstract

The rate of growth of enrollment in the Medicare Advantage (MA) program decreased significantly in 2008, compared to previous years. In addition, the growth rate in preferred provider organization (PPO) plans in rural areas now exceeds that in private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans. This policy brief updates earlier findings from analysis of the MA program reported by the RUPRI Center.
