As Medicare Advantage continues to serve a proportionally higher-risk and more diverse enrollment population, a new report highlights innovative approaches to addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) for Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, while acknowledging barriers that remain.
Social determinants of health are non-medical factors that account for up to 55% of an individual’s health outcomes, according to the World Health Organization.
The report, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago on behalf of Better Medicare Alliance’s Center for Innovation in Medicare Advantage, is informed by interviews with more than 20 experts from 14 organizations representing health plans, providers, health plan associations, not-for-profit social service organizations, and service and technology vendors.
