Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on health care utilization for commercial and Medicaid beneficiaries with opioid use disorder
Introduction We sought to examine how COVID-19 affected opioid use disorder (OUD)-specific health care utilization for insured individuals with preexisting OUD during the first year of the pandemic

A Quantitative Observational Study of Physician Influence on Hospital Costs
Physicians serve as the nexus of treatment decision-making in hospitalized patients; however, little empirical evidence describes the influence of individual physicians on hospital costs. In this study, we examine the extent to which hospital costs vary across physicians and physician characteristics. We used all-payer data from 2 states representing 15 237 physicians and 2.5 million hospital visits. Regression analysis and propensity score match…
Medicare Advantage Penetration and Hospital Costs Before and After the Affordable Care Act
BACKGROUND: Research has suggested that growth in the Medicare Advantage (MA) program indirectly benefits the entire 65+-year-old population by reducing overall expenditures and creating spillover effects of patient care practices. Medicare programs and innovations initiated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have encouraged practices to adopt models applying to all patient populations, which may influence the continued benefits of MA program growt…
Examining the Value of Inpatient Nurse Staffing
BACKGROUND: Inpatient quality deficits have important implications for the health and well-being of patients. They also have important financial implications for payers and hospitals by leading to longer lengths of stay and higher intensity of treatment. Many of these costly quality deficits are particularly sensitive to nursing care. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of nurse staffing on quality of care and inpatient care costs. DESIGN: Longitudin…
How Accurate are Self-Reports? Analysis of Self-Reported Health Care Utilization and Absence When Compared With Administrative Data
OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of self-reported health care utilization and absence reported on health risk assessments against administrative claims and human resource records. METHODS: Self-reported values of health care utilization and absenteeism were analyzed for concordance to administrative claims values. Percent agreement, Pearson's correlations, and multivariate logistic regression models examined the level of agreement and charact…
Multiple Chronic Conditions
Persons with multiple chronic conditions are a large and growing segment of the US population. However, little is known about how chronic conditions cluster, and the ramifications of having specific combinations of chronic conditions. Clinical guidelines and disease management programs focus on single conditions, and clinical research often excludes persons with multiple chronic conditions. Understanding how conditions in combination impact the b…
A Copayment Increase for Prescription Drugs
This study estimates the effects of an increase in an outpatient prescription drug copayment using a natural experiment based upon a large firm that implemented such an increase. The findings suggest that the primary effect of a copayment increase is attenuation of the trend in prescription drug utilization. We also find an initial reduction in expenditures, with the effects on spending diminishing. Employees with an existing chronic illness and …
