3:18 PM Abstract No. 119 Does Medicaid expansion alter interventional ablation utilization for renal cell, hepatocellular or non –small cell lung cancer?

A provision in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded Medicaid eligibility in participating states to low-income individuals with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Medicaid expansion has been associated with earlier cancer stage at diagnosis, which we hypothesized may alter treatment patterns for patients with early stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-small lung cancer (NSCLC).
