Service utilization in Medicaid HIV specialty plans versus standard plans among enrollees diagnosed with HIV/Aids in Florida, U.S.A
In the United States (U.S.), to contain costs many state Medicaid programs offer specialty health insurance plans for costly conditions such as HIV/AIDS. This study compared service utilization between Florida Medicaid enrollees diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in standard Medicaid managed care plans to enrollees in HIV/AIDS specialty plans. We found lower mean utilization among HIV/AIDS enrollees in specialty plans compared to enrollees with HIV/AIDS in …
The Florida Cohort study
In 2013, Florida had the highest rate of new HIV infections and only 56% of persons living with HIV (PLWH) were virally suppressed. In response, we initiated a new HIV cohort in Florida to better understand issues affecting HIV health outcomes. This manuscript will describe the procedures of the Florida Cohort; summarize information regarding enrollment, follow-up, and findings to date; and discuss challenges and lessons learned during the establ…
Costs and Savings Associated With the Police Use of the interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener
Background: The police response to calls for service identified as being related to mental health continues to be highly controversial. Strategies to improve the police response include Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training and various forms of co-response models neither of which have been subjected to comprehensive evaluations, particularly as to cost-efficiency. A new approach is the use of the interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener to enhance…
Impact of an Emergency Department-to-Home Transitional Care Intervention on Health Service Use in Medicare Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: Hospital-based acute care [emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations] that is preventable with high-quality outpatient care contributes to health care system waste and patient harm. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that an ED-to-home transitional care intervention reduces hospital-based acute care in chronically ill, older ED visitors. RESEARCH DESIGN: Convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design including a randomized cont…
Racial Disparities in Healthcare Utilization Among Individuals with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Comorbid Anxiety Disorder
Variation in Utilization of Health Care Services for Rural VA Enrollees With Mental Health‐Related Diagnoses
PURPOSE: Rural-dwelling Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) enrollees are at high risk for a wide variety of mental health-related disorders. The objective of this study is to examine the variation in the types of mental and nonmental health services received by rural VA enrollees who have a mental health-related diagnosis. METHODS: The Andersen and Aday behavioral model of health services use and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Me…

The Association Between Rural Residence and the Use, Type, and Quality of Depression Care
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between rurality and depression care. METHODS: Data were extracted for 10,319 individuals with self-reported depression in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Pharmacotherapy was defined as an antidepressant prescription fill, and minimally adequate pharmacotherapy was defined as receipt of at least 4 antidepressant fills. Psychotherapy was defined as an outpatient counseling visit, and minimally adequate ps…
Association of Health Plans' Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (Hedis) Performance With Outcomes of Enrollees With Diabetes
BACKGROUND: Few quality of care evaluations examine the relationship between clinical processes and patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between health plan performance on Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) clinical processes and intermediate outcome measures and Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) self-reported physical and mental health scores among Medicare plan enrollees with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Sec…
Part D Plan Enrollment by Uninsured Medicare Beneficiaries
OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to examine the patient factors and medication acquisition strategies that impacted PDP enrollment in early 2006 by Medicare beneficiaries without prior drug coverage. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A retrospective cohort study identified 2282 Medicare beneficiaries without prior drug coverage from the 2005 Access to Care Module of the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. MEASURES: Bivariate statistics (eg…
The Pivotal Impact of Center Characteristics on Survival of Candidates Listed for Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation
BACKGROUND: There are currently over half a million end-stage renal disease patients and >70,000 patients listed to receive a deceased donor kidney transplant in the United States. To receive a deceased donor transplant, patients are placed on a waiting list at one of approximately 240 centers. Although candidate decisions to list at a particular center may often be made passively (based on proximity or physician referral), the important question…
Convergence of body mass with aging
Lapses in Medicaid Coverage
BACKGROUND: Gaps in Medicaid coverage can result in inadequate access to care. This can be particularly detrimental to those with a chronic disease such as diabetes. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a lapse in Medicaid coverage is associated with an increase in expenditures, and acute care utilization upon reenrollment among beneficiaries with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using multivariate regression analyses, we compared pre- versus post-expenditures…

Physician Gender and Psychosocial Care for Children
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences by physician gender in the identification and treatment of childhood psychosocial problems. DESIGN: Survey of patients (n = 19,963) and physicians (n = 366) in primary care offices in 2 large, practice-based research networks. Multivariate regressions were used to control for patient, physician, and visit characteristics, with a correction for the clustered sample. SUBJECTS: Children ages 4 to 15 years seen conse…
Mental Health Care Utilization and Expenditures by Children in Foster Care
OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of children with mental health diagnoses and utilization and expenditures of mental health services among children in foster care compared with other children receiving Medicaid, including those with disabilities.
