About The Study: In this cohort study, state Medigap guaranteed issue protections were associated with higher rates of switching to traditional Medicare among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries newly diagnosed with cancer. These findings underscore the protective association of state Medigap regulations in facilitating a switch to traditional Medicare (especially among beneficiaries who likely desired more flexibility in accessing and receiving care) and illuminate potential disparities in switching that may reflect unequal abilities to compare and afford plans.
