Stroke patients with Medicare Advantage health insurance plans are less likely to be discharged to highly rated post-acute care than those covered by traditional Medicare, according to a new study co-led by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University. The results, published this week in JAMA Network Open, also show these disparities were most pronounced among patients dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
