CMS Minority Health Report Suggests Similar Patient Experiences, Varied Outcomes

As CMS continues efforts to advance health equity, the agency on May 2 released its annual report on disparities in the Medicare Advantage program based on race, ethnicity and sex. Racial and ethnic minorities are consistently more likely to enroll in Medicare Advantage versus the traditional, fee-for-service Medicare program. The 2024 report, released by the CMS Office of Minority Health in partnership with The RAND Corp., examined patient experience measures based on responses to the 2023 Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey, as well as clinical care measures based on the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) that is collected from administrative data and patients’ medical records, reflecting care received in 2022.
