Note: In today's New York Times Upshot, Reed Abelson and Margo Sanger-Katz take a deep dive into lawsuits and Inspector General reports detailing the way the largest Medicare Advantage insurers have inflated their payments from the federal government by gaming risk adjustment, the process by which they are compensated for patients who need more care than average.

Suggest you talk with Kip Sullivan, PNHP. kiprs@usinternet.com. Have you read the latest MedPac report? https://www.medpac.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Mar22_MedPAC_ReportToCongress_Ch12_SEC.pdf
Thanks, Bill. For some discussion of the MedPAC 2022 report, see here: https://xpostfactoid.blogspot.com/2022/06/is-avoiding-overpayment-of-medicare.html
As to the specific question addressed here, MedPAC 2022 pretty much refers to MedPAC 2017, in the note to Figure 12-3.
