As of June 2013, 28.1% of nation’s Medicare population is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage managed care organization (MCO). Medicare beneficiaries: 50.6 million persons Medicare Advantage enrollees: 14.2 million persons Nationally, this “penetration rate” has increased 3.5% from June 2010 – June states experienced an increase in Medicare Advantage enrollment penetration during this timeframe. Medicare Advantage enrollment increased 25% from June 2010 – June 2013 Minnesota leads the nation with 50.2% of beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare MCO, followed by Hawaii (46.4%) and Oregon (42.7%). Wyoming has the nation’s lowest penetration rate (3.7%).
