In Reply As noted by Dr Roehm, Medicare Advantage health plans principally are paid via capitation payments that are adjusted for the health status of the enrolled population. A large body of research suggests that this payment system has created strong incentives for Medicare Advantage health plans to improve their coding of diagnoses in order to increase their payments. The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) estimated that Medicare Advantage risk scores in 2021 were more than 10% higher than scores for similar beneficiaries in traditional Medicare . To achieve these scores, Medicare Advantage plans rely on more intensive coding of diagnoses by their clinicians as well as chart audits and home visits to obtain additional diagnosis codes.

To the Editor A recent study compared outcomes of 30-day mortality following myocardial infarction in patients with Medicare Advantage vs traditional Medicare. However, greater coding intensity occurs in Medicare Advantage plans, which makes reliable interpretation of outcome data difficult when comparing Medicare Advantage plans with traditional Medicare.

This study uses registry data to compare birth outcomes, including birth weight, gestational age, low birth weight, and preterm delivery, in assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancies among same-sex lesbian couples vs natural conceptions and ART pregnancies among heterosexual couples.

This randomized clinical trial of adults with intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia explores the optimal therapy for these patients after complete remission.

This prognostic study (in which a combined correlative analysis of the CALGB 40601 and PAMELA trials was conducted) compares the effectiveness of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes vs immune-related gene expression signatures in predicting pathologic complete response and event-free survival in patients with early-stage ERBB2/HER2-positive breast cancer.

This 20-year follow-up of a randomized clinical trial reports the long-term associations of early intervention services compared with treatment as usual for individuals with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorder.

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of opt-out care vs opt-in care for people who use tobacco.

Tumor Necrosis Factor inhibitors (TNFi), including infliximab and adalimumab, are a mainstay of pediatric Crohn’s disease (PCD) therapy; however, non-response and loss of response is common. As combination therapy with methotrexate may improve response, we performed a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pragmatic trial to compare TNFi with oral methotrexate to TNFi monotherapy.
