摘要:
When public services are subcontracted to private entities, a common concern is that the private firm will underprovide quality relative to the policymaker’s preferences. We study quality incentives in Medicare Advantage (MA), a subsidized market for health insurance for aged or disabled individuals. In MA, the government payments to MA plans are increasing in the plans’ quality rankings; in addition, a second quality incentive requires plans to allocate a portion of government payments directly to plan benefit improvements. To study the welfare implications of quality-dependent payments, we build a structural model of the MA market in which insurers choose plan features including quality subject to program rules. We estimate the demand and supply sides of the model using plan-level and individual-level data. Based on the estimated model, we show that making plan payments dependent on quality indeed leads to higher qualities and improves consumer welfare. However, the 2012 Quality Bonus Program that implemented these changes in MA also included a less-noticed policy change that altered plans’ premium-setting incentives. That policy change more than offset the welfare improvements from the quality-dependent rebates, meaning that the 2012 Quality Bonus Program, taken as whole, was welfare reducing. The second quality-incentive policy, a restriction on the allocation of government payments, is shown to improve plan benefits and enhance consumer welfare.
