Welcome to MedeAnalytics' Medicare Insight Resource Center! Designed for the benefit of the healthcare industry and the general public, this resource center provides a complimentary educational service.

Why has MedeAnalytics, a nonpartisan provider of healthcare performance management solutions, created this resource center? More than ever, the federal government is a significant, if not the major, driver of reform of our healthcare system. As Medicare is often the “lead dog” in enacting reform initiatives, we feel it is critical to have our hand on the pulse of this key government program so that we can understand our clients’ challenges and be more effective in advising and serving them with thought leadership and essential data analytics solutions.

Medicare, the federal health insurance program for 49 million elderly and disabled Americans, helps cover the costs of hospital and physician visits, prescription drugs, and other acute and post-acute services.

Medicare is a mammoth enterprise that over the next decade will grow more rapidly as a share of the economy, federal outlays, and national health expenditures. Moreover, the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the sustainable growth rate issue hang like storm clouds over the economics of the program.

Clearly, the debate on Medicare will continue and evolve, so we encourage you to visit this resource center often to keep abreast of the latest salient developments in this area of critical importance to the healthcare industry and our nation.
