On July 31st, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) issued its 2023 update to its “Data Book: Health Care Spending and the Medicare Program.” LeadingAge hasn’t had a chance to review the 200+-page document yet. The data book provides chapters on national and Medicare spending, Medicare beneficiary demographics, dual eligible beneficiaries, alternative payment models, post-acute care, and Medicare Advantage. It is a great resource guide on the latest numbers and trends in each of these categories.
