Purged from the Rolls
Purpose: To describe the impact of disenrollment from Medicaid because of failure to pay premiums as part of Iowa's Medicaid program's personal responsibility component. Methods: We conducted a mixed method study consisting of in-depth interviews with disenrolled members in 2016 and 2017 (n=72) and a survey of disenrolled members in 2017 (n=225). Results: Many disenrollees did not know why they were disenrolled, were unaware of the personal respo…
Completion of Requirements in Iowa’s Medicaid Expansion Premium Disincentive Program, 2014–2015
Objectives. To evaluate rates of member compliance with Iowa’s Medicaid expansion premium disincentive program. Methods. We used 2014 to 2015 Iowa Medicaid data to construct rolling 12-month cohorts of Wellness Plan and Marketplace Choice members (Iowa’s 2 Medicaid expansion waiver programs for individuals ≤ 100% and 101%–138% of the federal poverty level, respectively), calculated completion rates for required activities (i.e., wellness examinat…
Medicaid Health Home Reducing Costs and Reliance on Emergency Department
BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act allowed an optional Medicaid State Plan benefit for states to establish Health Homes coordinating care for people who have chronic conditions. Differences in medical home program incentives and implementation styles are important to understand in evaluating effects on key outcomes such as cost and acute care. In Iowa, a Medicaid Health Home (MHH) program was developed targeting Medicaid members with multiple ch…
Evaluation of a patient-reported continuity of care model for older adults
A prospective cohort study of long-term cognitive changes in older Medicare beneficiaries
In addition to aging, age, minority status, and low education, substantial and differential risks for cognitive change were associated with sooner vs. later subsequent death that help to clarify the terminal drop hypothesis. No readily modifiable protective factors were identified
The Cost‐Effectiveness of Large Amalgam and Crown Restorations Over a 10‐Year Period
Neither the large amalgam or crown restoration had both the lowest cost and the highest effectiveness. The higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for crowns should be considered when making treatment decisions between large amalgam and crown restorations
The Limited Effect of Screening for Depressive Symptoms With the PHQ-9 in Rural Family Practices
CONTEXT: Previous studies have found that routine screening for depression does not improve patient outcome unless it is combined with case management. However, these studies were conducted before the widespread use of SSRIs or in settings other than traditional primary care. PURPOSE: This study investigated whether screening for depressive symptoms improves outcomes for depressed patients seen in rural fee-for-service primary care offices. METHO…
