An ATI Advisory analysis commissioned by Better Medicare Alliance found that Medicare Advantage beneficiaries report saving more than $2,400 annually on out-of-pocket costs and premiums compared to Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries. Findings from ATI Advisory show that among low-income Medicare beneficiaries, those enrolled in FFS were twice as likely as Medicare Advantage beneficiaries to experience cost burden from their health care expenses.
