Changes in Reimbursed Acupuncture Therapy Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic induced a shift to telemedicine, which may have disproportionately affected in-person treatments such as acupuncture therapy. OBJECTIVES: We measured trends in reimbursed acupuncture between 2018 and 2021. We also measured trends in other types of pain care among patients with low back pain (LBP), which was the most common diagnosis for acupuncture. RESEARCH DESIGN: A descriptive, retrospective, and claims-based …
Nursing turnover in a large, rural health system
PURPOSE: Nursing turnover is a leading cause of inefficiency in health care delivery. Few studies have examined turnover among nurses who work in rural areas. METHODS: We accessed human resources data that tracked hiring and terminations from a large health system operating in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota between January 2016 and December 2017. Our study sample included 7,634 registered nurses, 1,765 of whom worked in a rural communi…

Food Insufficiency Following Discontinuation of Monthly Child Tax Credit Payments Among Lower-Income US Households
In this population-based cross-sectional study, discontinuation of monthly Child Tax Credit payments in December 2021 was associated with a statistically significant increase in household food insufficiency among lower-income households, with the greatest increase occurring in the lowest-income households
Price Transparency for Primary Care Office Visits and Routine Tests
Introduction: Price transparency is a central component of the shift from volume to value in healthcare delivery. Price transparency in primary care, the most common point of contact with the healthcare system for patients in the U.S., has not been widely studied. Methods: Using an audit study across 10 states in 2016, we examined the characteristics of primary care practices that were able to provide price information for office visits and routi…
Acuity-based Scheduling in Primary Care
OBJECTIVES: Triage algorithms are ubiquitous in emergency care settings, but the extent of their use in primary care is unknown. This study asks whether primary care practices prioritize patients with more acute service needs. METHODS: We used an audit study in which simulated patients were randomized to 2 clinical scenarios-a new patient seeking a routine check-up or a new patient seeking treatment for newly diagnosed hypertension-and attempted …
The Differential Effects of Insurance Mandates on Health Care Spending for Children’s Autism Spectrum Disorder
OBJECTIVES: There is substantial variation in treatment intensity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study asks whether policies that target health care utilization for ASD affect children differentially based on this variation. Specifically, we examine the impact of state-level insurance mandates that require commercial insurers to cover certain treatments for ASD for any fully-insured plan. METHODS: Using insurance claims …
