Dr. Meyers is an Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy, Policy and Practice at the Brown University School of Public Health. Professor Meyers is a health services researcher and health economist whose research broadly focuses on how payment and delivery reform affect the outcomes of historically marginalized patient populations. His current research interests include trying to understand the drivers of inequities in the Medicare Advantage program, the evaluation of care management programs for high-risk patient populations, and Medicaid policy for patients with chronic illness.
The analysis by Brown University researchers offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the Medicare Advantage insurance broker market, drawing on data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
