Medicaid-Financed Nursing Home Services: Characteristics of People Served and Their Patterns of Care, 2001-2002
(Report)
|
Author(s): Audra T. Wenzlow, Robert Schmitz and Jill Gurvey |
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research |
The goal of this study was to describe patterns of Medicaid nursing home utilization for each state and nationally. The authors address three specific research questions in this report: (1) What are the characteristics of people who use Medicaid nursing home services? (2) How do people who use Medicaid nursing home services become eligible for Medicaid? What proportion are long-time Medicaid enrollees entering a nursing home? What proportion are new enrollees? (3) How long do Medicaid-covered nursing home spells last and how often do individuals return to nursing homes? While addressing these questions, the authors also examine how state long-term care policies are associated with variation across states in patterns of nursing home utilization. [63 PDF pages] |

(Report)
|
Author(s): Audra T. Wenzlow, Robert Schmitz and Kathy Shepperson |
Organization(s): Mathematica Policy Research |
This report examines how person-level data in the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data system can be used to better understand Medicaid long-term care service use and expenditures, and to evaluate the utility of MAX data for further study of long-term care. In the analysis, the authors: compare expenditure and utilization-based measures of the balance of institutional and community-based long-term care services; examine Medicaid long-term care expenditures and utilization for two key groups of enrollees--young disabled enrollees and enrollees ages 65 and older; decompose community-based long-term care service expenditures by type of service; and summarize other Medicaid services used and costs incurred by long-term care users.

TRIM3 Simulations of Full-Year Uninsured Children and their Eligibility of Medicaid and SCHIP
(Report)
|
Author(s): Kenneth Finegold and Linda Giannarelli |
This paper estimates the number of full-year uninsured children and the share of them eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP using the TRIM3 microsimulation model. This model applies detailed state-specific rules to determine which individuals represented in the Current Population Survey (CPS) are eligible for Medicaid and/or SCHIP. Other key aspects of the model are the correction for underreporting of Medicaid, SCHIP, and other public benefits in the CPS and the imputation of immigrant legal status. Corrections for underreporting involve simulating additional enrollees so that reported coverage on the CPS matches totals given in the program administrative data. Imputation for immigrant legal status is required because this information is not provided in the CPS but is required to estimate eligibility. |
