The Health Care and Long-term Care Costs of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

Dr. Coe will discuss:
-The incremental cost estimates of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias over the first 5 years after on-set.
-The costs to traditional Medicare, Medicaid, and the family through out of pocket spending.
-Methods developed by Anirban Basu and Willard G Manning that estimate the roles of survival and utilization differences due to the disease.
