Dear John,

Contraceptive Use Among Medicare Enrollees

Medicare is the primary source of coverage for reproductive-age people who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.

In the January issue of Health Affairs, Jacqueline Ellison of the University of Pittsburgh and coauthors examine contraceptive use among those enrolled in traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage ([link removed] ) (MA).

They determine that, on average, MA enrollees were “older, more likely to live in the South, more likely to have Hispanic ethnicity, and less likely to be a full dual enrollee.”

They find that contraceptive use was higher in MA (16.3 percent) than in traditional Medicare (14.3 percent), although overall use was low overall and lower than use among Medicaid enrollees.

MA enrollees had a significantly higher predicted probability of using all contraceptive methods except for oral contraceptives.

Ellison and coauthors conclude that “Medicare coverage of all contraceptives without cost sharing is needed to support the reproductive autonomy of disabled enrollees.”

Health Affairs is implementing a new word limit for journal research articles.

Beginning with submissions received on or after April 1, 2024, the word limit will change from 5,000 words, including endnotes, to 3,250, excluding endnotes.

This change will allow for a tighter focus on core empirical research elements and create shorter, more accessible content for our audience.

Research papers using both qualitative and quantitative methods will be allowed a word count of 4,000 (excluding endnotes).

For more on this change, check out a newly released article from Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
