As enrollment in MA plans has grown, older adults in MA plans increasingly report that they know their plan's vision and dental benefits, although they decreasingly know about NH care. Older adults from racial and ethnic minority groups, with lower levels of education and income and who reside in certain regions or have functional disability, are less likely to know their plan benefits. This may imply decreasing preparedness for future long-term care needs. J Am Geriatr Soc 68:2343-2347, 2020.
