How does Medicaid-managed care impact reporting of Medicaid status?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To resolve a conflict in the literature on whether Medicaid-Managed Care (MMC) impacts the Medicaid Undercount.

Data sources/study setting

California county-level data (1995-1997) on MMC penetration, public use data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) (1995-1997), and restricted CPS data matched to administrative records on Medicaid enrollment (2001-2002).

Study design

We explore the robustness of previous results from the literature first using aggregate data and alternative models. We then examine CPS data linked to Medicaid enrollment data to estimate models of Medicaid reporting errors related to MMC.

Data collection/extraction methods

The Census Bureau linked administrative data on Medicaid enrollment to the CPS. Other data used were public
