Medicare Advantage plans offer members additional benefits and require less spending from the federal government compared to fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare, according to a report commissioned by Better Medicare Alliance’s Center for Innovation in Medicare Advantage.

The management consulting company Milliman conducted the report by analyzing FFS Medicare and Medicare Advantage cost, enrollment, and benefit data from CMS records.

Milliman found that the federal government spends $949 per person per month on FFS Medicare, including administration costs. Meanwhile, the government spends a total of $943 per person per month on Medicare Advantage, which includes $110 in administration costs and $123 in additional benefits.
