149: Senior Care (Part 1): Specialized primary care for an aging population

Enrollment in Medicare Advantage is expected to surpass 50 percent of the eligible Medicare population this year, and its rise has created new opportunities for experimentation and savings in senior care. An example of this is the rising demand for senior-focused primary care. In part one of Radio Advisory’s senior care series, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites experts Sebastian Beckmann and Elysia Culver to discuss the growing interest in senior-focused primary care and the opportunities and challenges it could present to stakeholders.
