Area of Science:

Health Economics
Insurance Market Dynamics
Policy Analysis

Background:

Open enrollment periods are standard in insurance to mitigate adverse selection.
Medicare Advantage (MA) rules were altered, allowing continuous enrollment in 5-star plans.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze beneficiary response to the option of switching to 5-star Medicare Advantage plans anytime.
To assess the impact of policy changes on plan selection and insurer behavior.

Main Methods:

Exploited a policy change in Medicare Advantage open enrollment rules.
Analyzed beneficiary switching behavior and demand for 5-star plans.
Controlled for insurer adjustments in premiums and benefits.

Main Results:

Within-year switches to 5-star plans increased by 7-16%.
Overall demand for 5-star plans remained stable across years.
Beneficiaries switching to 5-star plans were healthier than non-switchers.

Conclusions:

Policy changes allowing anytime enrollment in 5-star plans can increase plan switching.
Insurers can adapt to selection risks through premium and benefit adjustments.
Beneficiary responsiveness to plan quality indicators (e.g., 5-star rating) is significant.
