Using 2022 Medicare beneficiary claims data, Nymbl engaged Axene Medical Partners to calculate the most up-to-date available costs of acknowledged chronic conditions and falls per member, per month (PMPM) as well as the annual total claims cost of each condition per member. This data compares the cost of falls to the cost of chronic conditions to make the case that falls should be considered - and treated - as a chronic condition.
Sample requirements and size: With a 5% sample size, claims data was limited to traditional Medicare beneficiaries who have both Part A and Part B coverage, are 65 years or older, and are not in hospice.

On the flip side, nearly two-thirds (64%) of adults ages 50+ feel that today’s technology isn’t tailored to their needs, according to the same AARP report.
