Uptake of a Universal Sports Subsidy Program for School-Aged Children: A Population Data Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Future work is needed to understand how Sports Voucher, and sport participation rates have changed over time, and to improve voucher uptake among girls, city dwellers, and low SES children.PMID:37734744 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2022-0204

Understanding wheelchair use in older adults from the National Health and Aging Trends Study
CONCLUSIONS: Current wheelchair users reported more physical difficulties and were much less likely to go outside. This lower outdoor mobility could be due to physical difficulties or potential barriers in physical and socio-cultural environments. In addition, older adults who do not use wheelchairs showed increasing physical problems over time (including balance or coordination problems). Clinicians should consider older wheelchair users' health and physical limitations when prescribing wheelchairs.PMID:37734645 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.09.006

Medicare Advantage enrollment by immigration and English proficiency status
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest higher MA enrollment among immigrants, especially for LEP immigrants. Future research should study the care experience of immigrants in MA.PMID:37729534 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89432

Predicting hospitalizations for patients with chronic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: We developed an algorithm that uses medical claims to identify Medicare patients with CKD stages 3 to 5 who are at highest risk of being hospitalized in the near term. This algorithm could be used as a decision support tool for clinical programs focusing on management of patient populations with CKD.PMID:37729531 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89428

Varied use of step therapy among Medicare Advantage plans
CONCLUSIONS: MA plans vary in the frequency with which they impose step therapy protocols in their Part B drug coverage policies. Moreover, insurers often impose different step therapy protocols in their MA plan and commercial plan offerings. Differences in plans' step therapy requirements may result in variability in patients' access to care within MA.PMID:37729529 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2023.89426

Comparison of primary payer in cancer registry and discharge data

Tele-Neuropsychology: From Science to Policy to Practice
CONCLUSIONS: More studies of the reliability and validity of in-home tele-np-t using randomization methodology are necessary to support inclusion of tele-np-t codes on the CMS and CPT telehealth lists, and subsequently, the integration and delivery of in-home tele-np-t services across providers and institutions. These actions are needed to maintain equitable reimbursement of in-home tele-np-t services and address the widespread disparities in healthcare access.PMID:37715508 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acad066

Association between Hospital Participation in Value-Based Programs and Timely Initiation of Post-Acute Home Health Care, Functional Recovery, and Hospital Readmission after Joint Replacement
CONCLUSION: Hospital participation in bundled payments for care improvement or comprehensive care for joint replacement was associated with early home health rehabilitation care initiation, which was further associated with significant increases in functional recovery and lower risks of hospital readmission.IMPACT: Policy makers may consider incentivizing health care providers to initiate early home health services and care coordination in value-based payment models.PMID:37694820 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad123

Racial Disparities in Breast Cancer Treatments and Adverse Events in the SEER-Medicare Data
Cancers (Basel). 2023 Aug 30;15(17):4333. doi: 10.3390/cancers15174333.ABSTRACTDespite lower incidence rates, African American (AA) patients have shorter survival from breast cancer (BC) than white (W) patients. Multiple factors contribute to decreased survival, including screening disparities, later presentation, and access to care. Disparities in adverse events (AEs) may contribute to delayed or incomplete treatment, earlier recurrence, and shortened survival. Here, we analyzed the SEER-Medicare dataset, which captures claims from a variety of venues, in order to determine whether the cancer care venues affect treatment ...
