Objective

To determine the impact of Florida's Medicaid Reform Demonstration on per member per month (PMPM) Medicaid expenditures.

Data

Study design

A difference-in-difference approach was used to compare changes in expenditures before and after implementation of reforms between the reform counties and the nonreform counties.

Data extraction

Medicaid claims and eligibility files were extracted for enrollees in the reform and nonreform counties and collapsed into monthly amounts (N=16,875,467).
