I vaguely remember that managed Medicare might have different performance measures compared to FFS, so option D seems off to me.

I feel like we talked about the differences in service delivery systems, and option B sounds familiar, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think we practiced a question about how managed care can provide accountability, so I’m leaning towards option C, but I could be wrong.

I remember discussing how managed Medicare programs have a more structured approach, but I'm not sure if that means they can measure quality only at the provider level.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. What exactly do they mean by "can measure and report quality only at the provider level"? I'll have to re-read that option carefully.

Okay, I've got this. Managed Medicare plans can measure and report quality at the provider level, unlike FFS Medicare which looks at the program as a whole. That's a key distinction that should help me answer this.

I think this question is asking about the key differences between managed Medicare and FFS Medicare when it comes to measuring and reporting quality. The options seem to be getting at things like the level of measurement, the system used to deliver services, and the focus on accountability.

I think the key here is that managed Medicare plans have more of an organizational focus on accountability compared to the decentralized nature of FFS Medicare. That's an important difference that I'll focus on in my answer.

Hmm, this question is making my head spin. Maybe I should have stuck to studying the Medicare Advantage plan details instead of binge-watching that new medical drama.

A is just ridiculous. Of course managed Medicare can measure quality at the plan level, not just the provider level. What is this, the Stone Age?

I'm not sure about D - can the same performance measures really work for all managed Medicare plans? Seems a bit too one-size-fits-all.
