Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To examine the effect of Medicaid expansions on health insurance coverage and access to care among low-income adults with behavioral health conditions. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING:Nine years (2004-2012) of individual-level cross-sectional data from a restricted-access version of National Survey on Drug Use and Health. STUDY DESIGN:A quasi-experimental difference-in-differences design comparing outcomes among residents in 14 states that implemented Medicaid expansions for low-income adults under the Section §1115 waiver with those residing in the rest of the country. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS:The analytic sample includes low-income adult respondents with household incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level who have a behavioral health condition: approximately 28,400 low-income adults have past-year serious psychological distress and 24,900 low-income adults have a past-year substance use disorder (SUD). PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Among low-income adults with behavioral health conditions, Medicaid expansions were associated with a reduction in the rate of uninsurance (p < .05), a reduction in the probability of perceiving an unmet need for mental health (MH) treatment (p < .05) and for SUD treatment (p < .05), as well as an increase in the probability of receiving MH treatment (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS:The ongoing implementation of Medicaid expansions has the potential to improve health insurance coverage and access to care for low-income adults with behavioral health conditions.
