End-of-Life Care for Older Adults With Blood Cancers With Medicare Advantage Versus Medicare Fee-For-Service Insurance

In this large cohort of HM decedents, MA insurance was associated with greater hospice use and lower rates of high-intensity health care utilization near the EOL compared with FFS, despite being more likely to have beneficiaries of color. This suggests that insurance type may affect the quality of EOL care and partly mitigate existing disparities. Future work characterizing which elements of insurance promote high-quality EOL care may help to improve equitable access to such care.

Abstract

In this large cohort of HM decedents, MA insurance was associated with greater hospice use and lower rates of high-intensity health care utilization near the EOL compared with FFS, despite being more likely to have beneficiaries of color. This suggests that insurance type may affect the quality of EOL care and partly mitigate existing disparities. Future work characterizing which elements of insurance promote high-quality EOL care may help to improve equitable access to such care.
