Structural brain imaging for newly diagnosed cognitive impairment by Medicare coverage type

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the adherence to guideline-recommended structural brain imaging for newly diagnosed cognitive impairment among Medicare beneficiaries, examining differences based on Medicare coverage type. They found that overall imaging rates were low, particularly among dual-eligible beneficiaries and those enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, highlighting a significant gap in care that necessitates efforts to improve equitable access to these diagnostic procedures.
