  Abstract: Objective: To assess the impact of elderly medical and nursing services pilots on the health of the elderly and its differentiated effects. Methods: Using five-period unbalanced panel data from China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey conducted between 2014 and 2023, the study employed a PSM-DID method to analyze changes in the health status of the elderly before and after the reform. Results: The pilots significantly improved the health status of the elderly, with the policys effects most notably enhancing their psychological health. The elderly groups at a disadvantage in terms of resources, such as those with advanced age, low educational levels, or living apart from their children, can obtain greater mental health benefits from the pilots. The long-term care insurance and elderly medical care services pilots formed a policy synergy, but the implementation of multiple overlapping policies may attenuate the pilot’s effects. Conclusions: The pilots have yielded initial results, but there is still considerable room for improvement. It is recommended to actively promote the integration of regional medical and nursing resources, precisely meet the needs of disadvantaged the elderly groups, and strengthen interdepartmental collaboration and information sharing.

  Key words: Elderly medical and nursing service pilots; Older adults; Health performance; PSM-DID; Policy synergy
