Dear John,

We will not publish Health Affairs Today next Monday in observance of
Juneteenth. We will return to your inbox next Tuesday.

Nursing Home Dementia Care

This month, Dana Mukamel and coauthors published a paper examining the
distribution of those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
or cognitive impairment (ADRD-CI) throughout US nursing homes.
<[link removed]>

Mukamel and coauthors find that nursing home residents with ADRD-CI tend
to be spread throughout nursing homes, rather than concentrated in
particular sites.

They determine that fewer than half resided in nursing homes where those
with ADRD-CI accounted for 60-90 percent of the nursing home's census.


They write, "the majority of nursing homes... had a census ranging from
31 percent to 80 percent of residents with ADRD-CI."

These results suggest that most US nursing home residents could have
limited access to the forms of specialized, high-quality care available
in nursing homes that the authors find is associated with those nursing
homes with more than 91 percent of residents with ADRD-CI.

For more on this study, listen to the recently published episode of A
Health Podyssey

featuring Dana Mukamel and Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.

Journal Club Event Recap

In our recent June Journal Club event, "Continuous Eligibility And
Coverage Policies Expanded Children's Medicaid Enrollment
<[link removed]>,"
with author Dr. Aditi Vasan, Health Affairs Insiders got an exclusive
look at this June 2023 Health Affairs study assessing children's
Medicaid participation before and after enactment of the continuous
coverage provisions of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.

Dr. Vasan's key findings included:

* States newly adopting continuous coverage policies for children during
the COVID-19 pandemic experienced a 4.6% relative increase in
participation, corresponding to >655,000 additional beneficiaries

* >1,000,000 Medicaid beneficiaries have been disenrolled since April
2023

* Median disenrollment rate by state is 40%, but there is a wide
variation across states from 12% in Nebraska to 73% in Idaho

* "Procedural disenrollments" compromise a large share of all Medicaid
terminations in many states

* The Congressional Budget Office projects that 15.5 million low-income
Medicaid beneficiaries, including 5 million children, will lose coverage
between April 2023 and October 2024
