Dual-Eligible MA Stroke Patients Face Higher Odds of Low-Quality Nursing Home Discharge
A JAMA Network Open study of 44,078 stroke admissions found that dual‑eligible beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) were significantly more likely to leave the hospital for low‑quality skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) than their fee‑for‑service (FFS) peers. Roughly 58 % of MA dual‑eligible patients landed in SNFs rated one to three stars, compared with 42 % of FFS dual‑eligible patients. The analysis adjusted for stroke severity, functional status and market factors, confirming that the disparity is not merely a reflection of clinical need. These findings raise concerns about widening recovery gaps as MA enrollment climbs.
