Medicare Expenditures Associated With Hospital and Emergency Department Use Among Beneficiaries With Dementia
Understanding expenditure patterns for hospital and emergency department (ED) use among individuals with dementia is crucial to controlling Medicare spending. We analyzed Health and Retirement Study data and Medicare claims, stratified by beneficiaries' residence and proximity to death, to estimate Medicare expenditures for all-cause and potentially avoidable hospitalizations and ED visits. Analysis was limited to the Medicare fee-for-service pop…
Who Wants Long-Term Care Insurance? A Stated Preference Survey of Attitudes, Beliefs, and Characteristics
Approximately half of people turning 65 years between 2015 and 2019 are projected to need long-term support and services. Yet the long-term care insurance (LTCI) market is depressed, with only 7.4 million people owning policies. The objective of this study was to provide an analysis of potential LTCI purchasers. We investigate (1) who wants to purchase LTCI, (2) what are the attitudes and beliefs among those who have a preference for LTCI, and (3…

Estimates of National Health Care Expenditures Associated With Disability
We estimated adult national health care expenditures associated with disability by type of care and payer. These estimates represent the “additional” health care expenditures associated with disability over and above any non-disability-related health care expenditures. Multivariate analyses were performed using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, and supplemented with administrative data. Total national disability-associated health care expendi…
End-of-life care in the United States: Policy issues and model programs of integrated care
End-of-life care is deficient in the United States. Public payers could use their market power to improve care through a number of strategies
Medical and Long-Term Care Costs When Older Persons Become More Dependent
Loss of independence in older persons places considerable financial burden on them, their families, and the health care system. This study estimated the additional medical and long-term care costs that occur during the year when older persons make the transition to dependency at home or move to a nursing home
Public and Private Responsibilities: Home-and Community-Based Services in the United Kingdom and Germany
In the late 1980s, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany had roughly the same system of financing and delivering long-term care. In contrast to the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany enacted radical reform. The United Kingdom converted an open-ended, means-tested national entitlement for institutional care to a block grant to local governments, whereas Germany enacted a nationally uniform, non-means-tested social insurance…

Private Long-Term Care Insurance: Simulations of a Potential Market
Long-term care is now the most common cause of catastrophic illness costs for the elderly. Although acute care health insurance represents a mature market, private long-term care insurance is in its infancy and poised for development. This study presents a comparative analysis of simulation data, generated from the Brookings-ICF Long-Term Care Financing Model, for five alternative private long-term care insurance models. The simulation results in…
