- Title
Improving the Delivery of Preventive Services to Medicare Beneficiaries.
- Authors
Lesser, Lenard I.; Bazemore, Andrew W.
- Abstract
The authors propose several steps by which Medicare could expand preventive care to beneficiaries in the U.S. They recommend expanding coverage for effective services by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services under the Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. Another strategy is providing coverage for preventive coordination that includes risk assessment and patient motivation. The authors also favor allowing Medicare to discontinue unnecessary and costly coverage and services.
