Enrollees in for-profit PACE plans show distinct health care use patterns, highlighting variations.
Understanding these patterns can help improve care delivery in Medicare programs, especially for the elderly.
Cohort study examined Medicare enrollees participating in PACE, focusing on ownership type and health care utilization.
Results suggest that ownership type impacts health care access and usage among elderly enrollees.
