KFF Medicare Health Plan Tracker Now Available

Kaiser Family Foundation has updated its Medicare Health Plan Tracker to include current year information about participating Medicare Advantage plans, payment rates and enrollment. The Plan Tracker is an interactive online resource that provides basic information about Medicare HMOs and other private plans, including plan participation and beneficiary enrollment at the national, state, and county levels. The new update includes payment rates for 2005, and data about enrollment and participating plans as of March 2005. Online users can get quick facts about these plans, examine key historical trends and compare their state or county to others.

The plan tracker is available at KFF’s website.
