In this report, we used the 2021 Milliman Medicare Advantage Competitive Value Added Tool (Milliman MACVAT®) to analyze supplemental benefit offerings by year, from 2017 to 2021. We found all Medicare Advantage (MA) plan supplemental benefits to have significantly increased in prevalence between 2017 and 2021. Home-delivered meals, only recently introduced, show the greatest increases in prevalence, though their level of 60% is still the lowest among all supplemental benefit categories. The results of the analysis are presented as line graphs showing the percentage of MA beneficiaries who are enrolled in plans that offer select supplemental benefits.
