About The Study: In this cohort study of Medicare decedents with advanced cancers, continuous Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees were most likely to receive hospice at home, while those who switched from MA to traditional Medicare more frequently received hospice care in nursing homes. Plan switching near the end-of-life (EOL) may reflect access barriers, highlighting the importance of addressing care coordination to improve EOL care.
