Louisiana Medicaid Expansion
Today, we hosted a Health Affairs Journal Club event which featured a
paper from this month's issue about the effects of Medicaid expansion
in Louisiana.
Dimitris Karletsos and Charles Stoecker examined changes in geographic
proximity
of Medicaid enrollees to providers in the wake of Louisiana's 2016
Medicaid expansion.
They found that distance traveled by Medicaid beneficiaries decreased
across all eight types of services examined; the greatest declines were
seen among Black beneficiaries living in nonmetropolitan areas who
sought general practice care. Â
"The fact that the policy had a stronger effect on the Black population
has important public health implications, given that members of racial
and ethnic minority groups are consistently found to face longer travel
times to obtain health care services," wrote Karletsos and Stoecker.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Shao-Chee Sim and coauthors discuss
how Texas has a major opportunity
to build a robust community health improvement orientation into managed
care.
Meena Seshamani, Elizabeth Fowler, and Chiquita Brooks-LaSure of the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) discuss their goals for
Medicare and CMS
.
Katie Keith discusses new guidance
outlining how insurers and group health plans will be required to cover
and reimburse enrollees for up to eight at-home tests for COVID-19 per
enrollee per 30-day period.
Alan Weil, editor-in-chief of Health Affairs, discusses how starting
this month, Health Affairs will require authors and reviewers to respond
to questions
about their race, ethnicity, and gender in a continued effort to
increase equitable participation among individuals who engage with the
journal.
