Session: Insurance Plan Features and Associated Outcomes
The papers in this session focus on specific features of health insurance plans. The first paper constructs a new index of state Medicaid generosity that summarizes program features related to eligibility and benefit levels and examines state-level predictors of generosity. The next two papers examine the consequences of two specific features of Medicaid plans: coverage for smoking cessation services and requirements to complete annual wellness exams and health risk assessments in a state Medicaid program. The final paper focuses on insurance coverage for diabetes technology among different insurer types and the effects on utilization, self-management, and clinical outcomes.
