  1. Survey of CIC Program Participants: Who Joined and How Did They Change Their Care-Seeking Behavior? • Catherine McLaughlinUniversity of MichiganErin Fries Taylor • Mathematica Policy Research • WebCast Presentation • CIC programs • June 23, 2004

  2. Survey in 3 CIC Sites • Alameda County: Family Care • Insurance product for parents of children enrolled in Alameda Alliance for Health • 300% FPL or less • Austin: I-Care • Not an insurance product, collaboration of area hospitals and charity care organizations • 250% FPL or less • Southern Maine: CarePartners • Donated care model • 150% FPL or less

  3. Research Questions • Who joined? • Changes in care-seeking behavior? • Changes in satisfaction and perceived access? • Differences by race/ethnicity? • Alameda and Austin • Differences by chronic illness? • Southern Maine • Who stays and who leaves?

  4. Survey Content • Household information • Demographics • Income and employment • Previous health insurance coverage (asked at baseline) • Health status and utilization • Usual source of care, unmet need • Satisfaction, attitudes

  5. Wave 1 Details • Site provided contact information on all new enrollees over a period of 4-6 months • Completed interviews in Wave 1 • -Alameda: 471 adults (Aug 01–Jan 02) • 88% response rate • -Austin: 347 adults (Feb–Aug 02) • 87% response rate • -S Maine: 300 adults (Nov 01–June 02) • 93% response rate

  6. Baseline Survey Data • Who participates in each CIC program? • Were there differences in characteristics by race/ethnicity? • Were there differences in characteristics by chronic illness?

  7. Selected Socio-Demographics

  8. Income, Employment, and Previous Insurance Status

  9. Race/Ethnic/Language Composition: Alameda County English-speaking (7%) Asians Cantonese-speaking (30%) English-speaking (5%) Others English-speaking (10%) Latinos Spanish-speaking (48%)

  10. Selected Socio-demographics by Race/Ethnicity: Alameda County

  11. Race/Ethnic/Language Composition: Austin Whites English-speaking (16%) English-speaking (22%) Others English-speaking (12%) Latinos Spanish-speaking (50%)

  12. Selected Socio-demographics by Race/Ethnicity: Austin

  13. Baseline Health Status and Care-Seeking Behavior

  14. Preventive Services in Previous Year Alameda Austin S. Maine Physical Exam 38% 31% 53% 84% 59% 61% Blood Pressure Check Breast Exam (among women) 30% 22% 55% Pap Smear (among women) 50% 44% 34%

  15. Doctor's Office Hospital Outpatient 1% 1% 8% 2% Other Clinic or Health 3% 12% 36% 20% 38% 36% Hospital ER or Urgent 62% 9% Some Other Place 23% 43% 6% Alameda Usual Source of Care: S. Maine Austin

  16. Alameda: Health and Care-Seeking Behaviors: Themes by Race/Ethnicity • Asians and Latinas reported worse health status, but fewer chronic conditions • Cantonese-speaking Asians rated health status lower than English-speaking Asians • Latinas and Other were more likely to have an ER visit or a doctor visit • Asians reported lowest out-of pocket costs and Other reported the highest

  17. More on Baseline Health in Alameda: Themes by Race/Ethnicity • Cantonese-speaking Asians were most likely to have no health care utilization • Those in Other category were most likely to report unmet need

  18. Austin: Utilization Rates By Race/Ethnicity

  19. Baseline Health and Care-Seeking Behaviors: Themes by Race/Ethnicity In both Alameda and Austin, Latinos report worse health status and, at the same time, fewer report chronic or limiting condition(s) than other participants • Alameda County • Cantonese-speaking Asians were most likely to have no health care utilization, but also report worse health status than English-speaking Asians • Austin • Spanish-speaking Latinos were most likely to have no health care utilization, but also report worse health status than English-speaking Latinos

  20. Self-Reported Health Status by Race/Ethnicity Austin Alameda

  21. S. Maine: Baseline Utilization Rates by Presence of Chronic Condition

  22. S. Maine: Out-of-Pocket Health Care Costs in Previous Year (if Costs>0)

  23. Having a Usual Source of Care Made a Difference in: • Having any physician visits, ER visits, or hospital stays • Receiving preventive care • Physical exam • Blood pressure check • Breast exam (among females) • Pap smear (among females) • Having a personal health care provider

  24. Having Insurance Coverage in Last 12 Months Made a Difference in: • Having any physician visits • Receiving preventive care: • Physical exam • Blood pressure check • Breast exam (among females) • Pap smear (among females) • Having a usual source of care and a personal health care provider

  25. Research Questions: Changes • Changes in health status, health care utilization, and care-seeking behavior? • e.g., decrease ED use, increase preventive care • Changes in satisfaction and perceived access? • e.g., less self-reported unmet need • Are there race/ethnic differences in these changes? • Are there differences in changes for those with a chronic condition?

  26. Use Pre/Post Comparison: Wave I vs. Wave II + Wave III • Utilization data for the 12 months before and for the 12 months post-enrolling • Continuous enrollees and those who disenrolled • Possible “seam bias” (doublecounting), so rely more on “Yes/No used” than the count data of how many visits • Change = used only before or used only after enrolling

  40. S. Maine: Comparisons of Breast Exams Before and After by Presence of Chronic Illness change no change

  41. Were There Changes Over Time in Medical Care Use? • In all 3 sites, there was a noticeable increase in physician visits and an even larger increase in the number receiving physical exams, PAP smears, and breast exams. • Only S. Maine showed a noticeable, although statistically insignificant, decrease in ED use • No site showed a noticeable change in hospital use

  42. Do Changes Over Time Differ in Different Populations? • In Alameda, changes in ED use varied significantly by race/ethnicity: Latinos were the most likely to go only before enrollment • In S. Maine, those without a chronic condition were more likely to increase use of physician services and to have a breast exam

  43. Different Use by Different Populations • Most of the differences in utilization by race/ethnicity and by the presence of a chronic condition are differences in level of use, not change in use after enrolling • Asians were less likely to use physician, ED, and hospital services both before and after enrollment • Latinos were more likely than Asians, but less likely than “other” to use physician, ED, and hospital services both before and after • Those with a chronic condition were more likely to use ED and hospital services both before and after

  44. Caveats • Results are based on self-reported utilization data -Utilization (e.g., visits) tend to be under-reported -Procedures (e.g., pap smears) tend to be over-reported -Errors of omission increase with length of recall

  45. Disenrollment • There were varying levels of disenrollment across the 3 sites, the highest in S. Maine • What were the reasons given for leaving? • Were disenrollees “different” from continuous enrollees? • What happened to disenrollees in terms of coverage, utilization, satisfaction?
