Comprehensive Medication Review Completion Rates and Disparities After Medicare Star Rating Measure
This study found that adoption of CMR completion as a Star Rating quality measure was associated with higher CMR completion rates. The increase in CMR completion rates was achieved partly because Part D plans used stricter eligibility criteria to define eligible patients. Reductions in disparities for eligible Asian, Hispanic, and dual-Medicaid enrollees were seen, but not eliminated. These findings suggest that quality measures can inform plan b…
Measuring Frailty Using Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Data
Do Medical Homes Increase Medication Adherence for Persons With Multiple Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND: Medications are an integral component of management for many chronic conditions, and suboptimal adherence limits medication effectiveness among persons with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Medical homes may provide a mechanism for increasing adherence among persons with MCC, thereby enhancing management of chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between medical home enrollment and adherence to newly initiated medi…
Use of Medical Homes by Patients With Comorbid Physical and Severe Mental Illness
BACKGROUND: Patients with comorbid severe mental illness (SMI) may use primary care medical homes differently than other patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). OBJECTIVE: To compare medical home use among patients with comorbid SMI to use among those with only chronic physical comorbidities. RESEARCH DESIGN: We examined data on children and adults with MCC for fiscal years 2008-2010, using generalized estimating equations to assess asso…
Heterogeneity in the Quality of Care for Patients With Multiple Chronic Conditions by Psychiatric Comorbidity

OBJECTIVES: To examine cancer screening and single-disease quality of care measures in a Medicaid population with MCC and to compare quality measures among persons with MCC with varying medical comorbidities with and without depression or schizophrenia. RESEARC…

Part D Plan Enrollment by Uninsured Medicare Beneficiaries

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…
Medicaid Prescription Cost Containment and Schizophrenia
OBJECTIVES: In 2002, the Mississippi Division of Medicaid enacted several policies to curb prescription spending including increasing prescription copayments from $1 to $3 per brand, a cap of 7 prescriptions per month, a 34-day supply limitation, and a 5% reduction in dispensing fees. The objectives of this study were to examine the influence of these policies on (1) compliance to antipsychotic medications and (2) mental health care utilization a…
