Hospital Mergers, Hospital Choice, and Care Quality for Pregnant Enrollees in Medicaid
This cross-sectional study of labor and delivery admissions among patients with Medicaid found that hospital mergers were associated with an increased probability of admission to safety-net hospitals, lower probability of NICU-equipped hospitals, and worsening in 1 obstetric quality metric. These changes differed for Medicaid vs commercially insured patients and varied among Medicaid patients in urban vs rural markets. The findings underscore the…
Medicaid Value-Based Payments and Health Care Use for Patients With Mental Illness
In this cohort study, Medicaid value-based payment reform was statistically significantly associated with an increase in behavioral health visits and a reduction in mental health emergency department visits for patients with mental illness. Medicaid value-based payment may be effective at altering health care utilization in patients with mental illness

This suggests payment policy may drive differential investments in infrastructure to document diagnoses. This may create a feedback loop that exacerbates resource inequity
Assessment of US Pharmacies Contracted With Health Care Institutions Under the 340B Drug Pricing Program by Neighborhood Socioeconomic Characteristics
This cross-sectional study assesses pharmacy participation in the 340B Drug Pricing Program following the 2010 expansion and the extent to which growth has occurred in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods
Estimation of Potential Savings Associated With Switching Medication Formulation
This cross-sectional study describes the price differences between capsule and tablet or ointment and cream forms of prescription drugs for insured patients

Almost 20% of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients receive postacute care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) after hospitalization. SNF patients have high readmission rates. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between changes in hospital referral patterns to SNFs and HRRP penalty…
