Estimating Self‐Selection in Medicare Advantage
We explore the fundamental question of selection in Medicare Advantage by exploiting quasi‐experimental variation from the Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare eligibility to evaluate and describe participation in Medicare Advantage. Using administrative claims data between 2007 and 2017, we investigate the transition from commercial insurance to Medicare Advantage for a comprehensive subset of commercially insured enrollees. We use the sharp c…
Nurse practitioner scope of practice and the prevention of foot complications in rural diabetes patients
PURPOSE: Diabetic foot ulcers afflict a quarter of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients and are associated with higher mortality rates among people with diabetes. Routine primary and preventive care is essential to both prevent and treat foot ulcers before they can contribute to further adverse outcomes. One approach for expanding this care to people with diabetes in rural communities is increasing the practice authority of nurse practitioners. This…
Screening Mammography Rates in the Medicare Population before and after the 2009 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Guideline Change
The Effect of Macroeconomic Conditions on the Care Decisions of the Employed
BACKGROUND: Medical care utilization has been found to be affected indirectly by changes in economic conditions through associated changes in employment or insurance status. However, if individuals interpret external macroeconomic conditions as employment risk, they may alter decisions to seek care even if they remain both employed and insured. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between macroeconomic fluctuations and the medical care usage of…
Physician Self-Referral for Imaging and the Cost of Chronic Care for Medicare Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: As the cost of both chronic care and diagnostic imaging continue to rise, it is important to consider methods of cost containment in these areas. Therefore, it seems important to study the relationship between self-referral for imaging and the cost of care of chronic illnesses. Previous studies, mostly of acute illnesses, have found self-referral increases utilization and, thus, probably imaging costs. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relat…
What Factors Affect the Productivity and Efficiency of Physician Practices
BACKGROUND: Increasing the productivity and efficiency of physician practices could help relieve the rapid growth of US healthcare costs and the expected physician shortage. Radiology practices are an attractive specific focus for research on practices' productivity and efficiency because they are home to many purportedly productivity-enhancing operational technologies. This affords an opportunity to study the effect of production technology on p…
