Health Characteristics of Adults Unable to Complete Medicaid Renewal During the Unwinding Period
This cross-sectional study found that adults who could not complete the Medicaid renewal process and were procedurally disenrolled during the unwinding period had higher mental health needs, worse functional health, and lower financial security than current enrollees and nonprocedural disenrollees. These findings raise concerns regarding the potential consequences of administrative barriers and Medicaid coverage disruptions on vulnerable populati…
The impact of rural general hospital closures on communities—A systematic review of the literature
Economic Burden Associated With Untreated Mental Illness in Indiana
This cross-sectional study found that untreated mental illness may have significant financial consequences for society. These findings put into perspective the case for action and should be considered by policymakers, clinicians, and employers when allocating societal resources and funding. States can replicate this comprehensive framework as they prioritize key areas for action regarding mental health services and treatments
Nursing Home Chain Affiliation and Its Impact on Specialty Service Designation for Alzheimer Disease
Specialty care units (SCUs) in nursing homes (NHs) grew in popularity during the 1990s to attract residents while national policies and treatment paradigms changed. Alzheimer disease has consistently been the dominant form of SCU. This study explored the extent to which chain affiliation, which is common among NHs, affected SCU bed designation. Using data from the Online Survey Certification and Reporting (OSCAR) from 1996 through 2010 with 207 4…
Addressing Stroke Risk Factors in Black and White Americans
We found that addressed hypertension and hyperlipidemia in stroke naïve participants were significantly lower in Blacks than Whites. Our observations call attention to areas that require further investigation, such as why Black Americans may not be receiving evidence-based pharmacologic therapy for hypertension and hyperlipidemia or why Black Americans are not at goal blood pressure or goal LDL. A better understanding of this information is criti…
Health Expenditure Concentration and Characteristics of High-Cost Enrollees in CHIP
Devising effective cost-containment strategies in public insurance programs requires understanding the distribution of health care spending and characteristics of high-cost enrollees. The aim was to characterize high-cost enrollees in a state's public insurance program and determine whether expenditure inequality changes over time, or with changes in cost-sharing policies or program eligibility. We use 1999-2011 claims and enrollment data from th…
Adverse Selection in the Children’s Health Insurance Program
This study investigates whether new enrollees in the Alabama Children's Health Insurance Program have different claims experience from renewing enrollees who do not have a lapse in coverage and from continuing enrollees. The analysis compared health services utilization in the first month of enrollment for new enrollees (who had not been in the program for at least 12 months) with utilization among continuing enrollees. A second analysis compared…
The Impact of Texting Bans on Motor Vehicle Crash–Related Hospitalizations
We used a panel design and the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 19 states between 2003 and 2010 to examine the impact of texting bans on crash-related hospitalizations. We conducted conditional negative binomial regressions with state, year, and month fixed effects to examine changes in crash-related hospitalizations in states after the enactment of a texting ban relative to those in states without such bans. Results indicate that texting bans we…
Impact of Texting Laws on Motor Vehicular Fatalities in the United States
Using a panel study design, we examined the effects of different types of texting bans on motor vehicular fatalities. We used the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and a difference-in-differences approach to examine the incidence of fatal crashes in 2000 through 2010 in 48 US states with and without texting bans. Age cohorts were constructed to examine the impact of these bans on age-specific traffic fatalities. Primarily enforced laws banning a…
The effect of a thirty per cent reduction in physician fees on Medicaid surgery rates in Massachusetts
In this paper, we use an interrupted time series analysis to assess the effect of a 30 per cent reduction in the Medicaid reimbursement fee for physician services on the rate at which eight elective surgical procedures were performed in the Massachusetts Medicaid population. Tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy is the only procedure in which there was a statistically significant decline in the rate of surgery in most areas of the state following the fee c…
