Fee-for-Service Versus Prepaid Group Practice and Longitudinal Effects in Utilization
This article reexamines some evidence on the effects of prepaid group practice on medical care utilization. It is argued that intertemporal variations in longitudinal cohorts must be evaluated in the context of a cohort's longitudinal use patterns. The longitudinal pattern is comparable to the random effects against which cross-section statistics are ordinarily assessed. Failure to do so may result in unwarranted identification of “experimental” …
Utilization of Publicly Insured Health Services in Saskatchewan Before, During and After Copayment
This study examines the effects both of introducing and of removing copayment charges under a universal public medical care and hospital insurance program. For a period between 1968 and 1971, the Province of Saskatchewan imposed user charges of approximately 33 per cent and 6 per cent on medical and hospital services, respectively. The effects of these charges are analyzed using pooled cross-section samples of families and using both multivariate…
Temporal Patterns in the Use of Health Services Leading to Cholecystectomy: A Process Evaluation Using Insurance Records
Data from Saskatchewan's public medical and hospital insurance programs are used to estimate a multivariate model of health services utilization among cholecystectomy patients. A methodology is developed which partitions the care process into an assessment period, a waiting period, and a hospitalization period. The general hypothesis is that presurgical and surgical decisions of physicians are influenced by extra-medical factors, including the so…
