The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) contains a wealth of information about the people whose care is financed by the program. This article examines their satisfaction with medical care received and explores the relationship of these attitudes with the characteristics of subgroups of the enrolled population. Satisfaction with medical care among Medicare beneficiaries is found to be generally high (80-90 percent). Disabled Medicare beneficiaries are less satisfied than the aged, and health maintenance organization (HMO) enrollees less satisfied than fee-for-service (FFS) patients. Others with lower-than-average satisfaction are people with poorer health status, those covered by Medicaid, and those without supplementary insurance.
医疗保险当前受益人调查(MCBS)包含了大量有关由该计划资助医疗护理的人群的信息。本文考察了他们对所接受医疗护理的满意度,并探讨了这些态度与参保人群子群体特征之间的关系。研究发现,医疗保险受益人的医疗护理满意度总体较高(80%-90%)。残疾医疗保险受益人不如老年人满意,健康维护组织(HMO)参保者不如按服务收费(FFS)患者满意。其他满意度低于平均水平的人群包括健康状况较差者、医疗补助覆盖者以及没有补充保险者。
