ATLANTA—Trella Health, a provider of post-acute analytics and insights, announced the release of its latest Medicare Advantage (MA) data aimed to help home health and skilled nursing organizations navigate the MA market.
With Medicare Advantage enrollment surpassing traditional Medicare—now accounting for 55.4% of all Medicare beneficiaries—the demand for timely, targeted and granular MA insights is reshaping provider growth strategies in an MA-first landscape.
"As Medicare Advantage continues to grow, providers need deeper visibility into referral behavior, patient flow and payer dynamics," said Kathy Ford, chief product officer at Trella Health. "This new dataset unlocks critical insights that help our users align their network strategies with high-value MA opportunities."
The latest MA data upgrade is available as an add-on to Trella's Marketscape Insights platform for both home health and skilled nursing users, with data refreshed quarterly in alignment with Trella's fee-for-service update schedule.
This MA dataset enables users to:
- Identify MA Referral Sources: discover hospitals and physicians referring MA patients to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health agencies (HHAs) using metrics such as payer name, annual patient counts and affiliation percentages.
- Evaluate MA Payer Trends & Strategic Alignment: assess trends in MA volumes using annual patient counts and payer-specific referral data to identify providers treating target populations.
- Monitor Referral Leakage & Strengthen Relationships: track MA patient movement using referral destination data, affiliation percentages and facility-level patient counts to uncover referral shifts over time.
