Evaluating the Impact of Eliminating Copayments for Tobacco Cessation Pharmacotherapy
OBJECTIVES: We examined the impact of the Affordable Care Act-mandated elimination of tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy (TCP) copayments on patient use of TCP, overall and by income. METHODS: Electronic health record data captured any and combination (eg, nicotine gum plus patch) TCP use among adult smokers newly enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). KPNC eliminated TCP copayments in 2015. We included current smokers newly enr…
Association of the Affordable Care Act With Smoking and Tobacco Treatment Utilization Among Adults Newly Enrolled in Health Care
OBJECTIVES: To examine rates of smoking and tobacco treatment utilization by insurance coverage status (Medicaid, commercial, exchange) among newly enrolled patients in the post Affordable Care Act (ACA) era. METHODS: We examined new members who enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Northern California through Medicaid, the California exchange, or nonexchange commercial plans (N=122,298) in the first 6 months of 2014 following ACA implementation. We comp…
Ethnic Differences in Geriatric Conditions and Diabetes Complications Among Older, Insured Adults With Diabetes
Among these insured older adults, ethnic health patterns varied substantially; differences were frequently small and rates were often better among select minority groups, suggesting progress toward the Healthy People 2020 objective to reduce health disparities
Changes in Use of Lipid-lowering Medications Among Black and White Dual Enrollees With Diabetes Transitioning From Medicaid to Medicare Part D Drug Coverage
BACKGROUND: The use of lipid-lowering agents is suboptimal among dual enrollees, particularly blacks. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the removal of restrictive drug caps under Medicare Part D reduced racial differences among dual enrollees with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: An interrupted time series with comparison series design (ITS) cohort study. SUBJECTS: A total of 8895 black and white diabetes patients aged 18 years and older drawn from a na…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Postpartum Depression Care Among Low-Income Women
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to characterize racial-ethnic differences in mental health care utilization associated with postpartum depression in a multiethnic cohort of Medicaid recipients. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study, administrative claims data from New Jersey's Medicaid program were obtained for 29,601 women (13,001 whites, 13,416 blacks, and 3,184 Latinas) who delivered babies between July 2004 and October 2007. Racial-e…
Medicare Part D and Changes in Prescription Drug Use and Cost Burden
CONTEXT: The full effect of Medicare Part D, after the initial policy transition period and across the United States Medicare population, remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To estimate nationally representative changes in prescription drug use and out-of-pocket drug costs 2 years after implementation of Part D. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We examined study outcomes over 8 years (2000 to 2007) and estimated changes after Part D, accounting for ear…
Unintended Impacts of a Medicaid Prior Authorization Policy on Access to Medications for Bipolar Illness
OBJECTIVES: Prior authorization policies (PA) are widely used to control psychotropic medication costs by state Medicaid programs and Medicare Part D plans. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of a Maine Medicaid PA policy on initiation and switching of anticonvulsant and atypical antipsychotic treatments among patients with bipolar disorder. METHODS: We obtained Maine and New Hampshire (comparison state) Medicaid and Medicare c…
Reliability of New Measures of Cost-Related Medication Nonadherence
BACKGROUND: Although several national studies have attempted to measure medication nonadherence due to cost in cross-sectional studies of the elderly and disabled, little information exists on the psychometric properties of these measures over time. OBJECTIVES: Examine the test-retest reliability of several recently published measures of cost-related medication nonadherence, among elderly community. METHODS: We developed a questionnaire and teste…
Racial Differences in Impact of Coverage on Diabetes Self-Monitoring in a Health Maintenance Organization
BACKGROUND: Insurance coverage of patient self-management devices like self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) equipment may help to reduce race-related barriers to effective care. OBJECTIVES: We examined whether providing free home glucose monitors had greater impacts on self-monitoring among black versus white patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using electronic medical record data (1992-1996), we used longitudinal survival analysis to examin…
Antibiotic use following a Korean national policy to prohibit medication dispensing by physicians
This study investigated whether a Korean national policy prohibiting doctors from dispensing drugs as of 2000 selectively reduced inappropriate antibiotic prescribing in viral illness compared with bacterial illness. We assessed the proportions of episodes prescribed an antibiotic and the number of different antibiotics prescribed for patients with viral and bacterial illness episodes before and after the policy. The nationally representative sam…
