Alzheimer’s Disease Overview: Costs Associated with AD
Total costs of care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease by all payers will soar from $172 billion in 2010 to more than $1 trillion in 2050 with Medicare costs increasing more than 600 %, from $88 billion today to $627 billion in 2050 | |
It is estimated that Medicaid costs will soar 400 %, from $34 billion to $178 billion by 2050 | |
The average lifetime cost of care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease is $174,000 | |
The yearly cost of caring for someone with Alzheimer's depends on the stage of the disease: |
- $18,400 for someone with mild symptoms
- $30,100 for moderate symptoms
- $36,132 for severe symptoms
Alzheimer's disease cost businesses $24.6 billion in health care in 2002 | |
