George Mason University received a $591,089 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on February 15, 2026, with completion targeted for January 31, 2031. This research project investigates the relationship between Medicare Advantage (MA) non-medical supplemental benefits, health service utilization, and health outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries. The study addresses a critical evidence gap regarding the effectiveness of non-medical benefits—such as food security, housing support, pest control, and utility assistance—that MA plans began offering in 2020 to address health-related social needs. The research specifically examines utilization patterns and health outcomes among dual-eligible beneficiaries (individuals with both Medicare and Medicaid coverage) enrolled in Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plans, where non-medical benefit adoption has exceeded 80%. The grant supports comprehensive analysis to evaluate whether these non-medical supplemental benefits improve health and functioning for chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries and reduce costly acute care utilization, such as hospitalizations. By examining the connection between MA's non-medical benefits and health outcomes, this research will provide empirical evidence to inform policy decisions regarding the effectiveness of addressing health-related social needs through the Medicare Advantage program, particularly for vulnerable dual-eligible populations who often experience fragmented care delivery.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
