We summarized HBMC recipient characteristics by plan type and used Poisson regression with inverse weights of propensity of plan enrollment and regional fixed effects to compare TM and MA enrollees on visit counts, usage incidence, and visit intensity by visit modality. We also examined differences by comorbidity burden, frailty, dual Medicaid eligibility, race and ethnicity, and major MA plans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Out of 49,194 TM and 47,830 MA enrollees with ADRD, MA enrollees had fewer overall visits (TM\u2009=\u20098.89; MA\u2009=\u20097.97) and HBMC visits (TM\u2009=\u20092.09; MA\u2009=\u20091.37) compared to TM enrollees. Adjusted analyses showed that the number of HBMC visits was 25% lower (IRR\u2009=\u20090.75; 95% CI, 0.69\u20130.81) in MA compared to TM, arising from 19% and 7% lower user incidence and visit intensity, respectively. Office visits were 6% lower (IRR\u2009=\u20090.94; 95% CI, 0.91\u20130.96), telemedicine visits were similar (IRR\u2009=\u20091.02; 95% CI, 0.95\u20131.10), and overall visits were 10% lower (IRR\u2009=\u20090.90; 95% CI, 0.88\u20130.93) in MA relative to TM. Relative to TM, HBMC visits were lower in MA by a larger margin among non\u2010Hispanic Black (47%), Hispanic (67%), and dual Medicaid\u2010eligible (42%) MA enrollees. Within MA, HBMC visits were 27% higher (IRR\u2009=\u20091.27; 95% CI, 1.09\u20131.48) in PPO plans relative to HMO plans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HBMC user incidence and visit intensity were higher in TM than MA among enrollees with ADRD.
