摘要：

Medicare has more than five million beneficiaries with disabilities who are under age sixty-five, and enrollment is rising rapidly. This paper presents a profile of nonelderly beneficiaries in fee-for-service Medicare by major disability category, excluding those with end-stage renal disease. The profile is based on Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) Cost and Use data for 1994-1996. We estimate Medicare costs by service type and health care costs by payer type, and we discuss implications for Medicare reform and related federal disability policy issues.
