Designing Medicare payment policy that promotes effective, efficient post-acute care (PAC) has been a challenge for decades. Incremental refinements have not fully resolved longstanding issues, and the growth of Medicare Advantage is reshaping how beneficiaries receive PAC and how providers deliver it. This panel will bring together leading experts to consider lessons from past reforms, current challenges, and policy options to control spending and ensure beneficiaries receive quality PAC in today’s Medicare landscape.
