On June 22nd, under the
leadership of President Trump, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) is calling for a renewed national commitment to value-based
care based on Medicare claims data that provides an early snapshot of the
impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the Medicare
population. The data released today includes the total number of
reported COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among Medicare beneficiaries
between January 1 and May 16, 2020. The snapshot breaks down COVID-19 cases
and hospitalizations for Medicare beneficiaries by state, race/ethnicity,
age, gender, dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid, and urban/rural
locations.
