Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use Among Patients With Dementia in Traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage
BACKGROUND: Older adults with dementia are susceptible to receiving potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), where the risks likely outweigh the benefits. Medicare advantage prescription drug plans (MA-PDs) cover both medical and prescription drug benefits, creating a financial incentive to reduce PIM use and unnecessary health care costs from adverse drug events, whereas standalone Medicare prescription drug plans (PDPs) used by traditional…
Out-of-Network Care in Commercially Insured Pediatric Patients According to Medical Complexity
BACKGROUND: Commercial health plans establish networks and require much higher cost sharing for out-of-network (OON) care. Yet, the adequacy of health plan networks for access to pediatric specialists, especially for children with medical complexity, is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To examine differences in OON care and associated cost-sharing payments for commercially insured children with different levels of medical complexity. DESIGN: Cross-sec…
Income-Based Disparities in Financial Burdens of Medical Spending Under the Affordable Care Act in Families With Individuals Having Chronic Conditions
This study examined income-based disparities in financial burdens from out-of-pocket (OOP) medical spending among individuals with multiple chronic physical and behavioral conditions, before and after the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) implementation in 2014. Using the 2012-2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data, we studied changes in financial burdens experienced by nonelderly U.S. populations. Financial burdens were measured by (1) high financ…
Factors that Determine the Treatment for Local and Regional Prostate Cancer
This article assesses the significance of comorbid and nonclinical factors in type of treatment received by elderly male patients with local-regional stage prostate cancer. Multivariate analysis of data from the Virginia Cancer Registry was linked to Medicare claim files, the Area Resource File, and 1990 Census Data. The type of initial treatment received was studied in 3117 men with local-regional staged prostate cancer diagnosed from 1985 to 19…

The quality of ambulatory care in Medicare health maintenance organizations
The quality of ambulatory care received by Medicare recipients who enrolled in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) was compared to the care received by fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare recipients, in a quasi-experimental, non-randomized design. Both samples were drawn from the four major geographic areas in the country, and included two types of HMO practices: staff/group models, and independent practice associations (IPAs). A panel of expert p…
The Impact of Echocardiographic Results on Treatment Decisions for Patients Suspected of Mitral Valve Prolapse
Although echocardiography is frequently ordered in ambulatory settings for patients suspected of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), its impact on their subsequent management is unknown. We studied the relationship between the results of echocardiography for outpatients suspected of MVP, and two frequent medical decisions: treatment with beta blockers and the recommendation of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent bacterial endocarditis. A medical record au…
