As Supplemental Benefits Rise, In-Home
Services Skyrocket in ’22
CMS’s reinterpretation of “primarily
health-related” benefits has led to more Medicare Advantage plans offering
services such as in-home support services, home-based palliative care, support
for caregivers and therapeutic massage for the upcoming plan year, according to
a new analysis from Milliman. The number of MA plans that will offer one of
five selected benefits grew 43% from 2021, to 824 plans, while 202 plans will
offer at least two of the benefits next year, up from 175 plans in 2021.
Notably, the number of plans offering in-home support skyrocketed from 296 in
2021 to more than 500 in 2022. Of the five studied benefits, only adult day
health services will see a decline in availability next year.
