Purpose:We examined the use of advance care planning (ACP) among Medicare beneficiaries who were identified as transgender.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional analysis of Medicare claims from 2016 to 2018, comparing ACP visits between transgender and other beneficiaries.Results:Beneficiaries identified as transgender were slightly more likely than those who were dual eligible for Medicaid and Medicare, and the remaining fee-for-service Medicare population, to have received a claim for ACP. However, racial and ethnic differences exist and transgender beneficiaries were more likely to receive an ACP claim from hospice/palliative care clinicians compared with primary care clinicians relative to other beneficiaries.Conclusions:Differences in ACP provision may exacerbate disparities in access to ACP benefits faced by transgender patients.
