Dear John,
Articles in the January issue of Health Affairs discuss health insurance
coverage effects and enrollment.
Coverage Effects And Enrollment
George Wehby linked birth certificate data to standardized test scores
for children in Iowa and provided strong evidence that the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) insurance expansions led to improvements in reading
scores, particularly among children in households of mothers with a high
school education or less, in the third and fourth years after Iowa's
expansion.
"The findings point to broader spillover benefits from widespread
insurance coverage gains, particularly for low-income households," Wehby
wrote.
The January issue of Health Affairs also includes a report examining
California's ACA Marketplace, Covered California. Toward the end of
each open enrollment period, tens of thousands of people begin but do
not complete the process.
Rebecca Myerson and coauthors reported results from a randomized trial
showing that personalized telephone calls
from service center representatives to discuss consumers' options
increased enrollment for lower-income households, with particularly
large increases seen among adults older than age fifty.
"In the absence of structural enrollment reforms such as
auto-enrollment, our study indicates that personalized outbound call
interventions may still induce modest but meaningful enrollment gains in
certain populations while yielding a positive return on investment,"
Myerson and coauthors concluded.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Joshua Liao and coauthors discuss how
improving care coordination
will require the formation of local provider-community partnerships.
In GrantWatch, Lee L. Prina writes about staff and board changes
over the past several months at philanthropies around the country that
fund in health-related areas.
