Medicare Advantage

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published updated enrollment data for Medicare, adding July and August 2025 to the data archive.

Whether the data posted since January 20, 2025 is accurate or not, I can't say for certain, but at least they're updating it...and so far, at least, I don't see anything in their monthly reports which is setting off any obvious red flags.

In any event, according to the latest report, as of August 2025:

  • Total Medicare beneficiaries are up to 69.3 million (up ~86K month over month)
  • Traditional/FFM Medicare beneficiaries are at 33.79 million (down ~31K m/m)
  • Medicare Advantage beneficiaries reached 35.49 million (up ~55K m/m)
  • 11.73 million Medicare enrollees (around 16.9% of the total) were "Dual Eligibles"...that is, enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid.

The only number which seems odd is the 375K drop in Dual Eligibles...I'm not sure what to make of that.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published updated enrollment data for Medicare, adding June 2025 to the data archive.

Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels.

With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.
