Medicare Advantage enrollees' use of nursing homes: trends and nursing home characteristics.

CONCLUSIONS: MA plans may be selectively contracting with NHs, as evidenced by the larger shares of MA patients who have been placed in facilities with better performance on quality measures. This may reflect MA plans concentrating enrollees in specific facilities and building "networks" of postacute and long-term care providers that provide better and more efficient care.
