Katherine Baicker, PhD, professor of health economics, Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health, says that Medicare Advantage Plans still hold promise to deliver high-value, better-tailored care to beneficiaries. Additionally, other care models like the Accountable Care Organization are showing potential to improve care as they give providers incentive to guide beneficiaries to higher-value services.
Dr Baicker further suggests that the Affordable Care Act will impact Medicare Advantage Plans in a number of ways.

These projects include different care coordination mechanisms such as bundled payments and the patient-centered medical home.
