Association between medical home enrollment and health care utilization and costs among breast cancer patients in a state Medicaid program.
The objective of this study was to examine health care utilization and expenditures as a function of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) enrollment among breast cancer patients in North Carolina’s Medicaid program. It found that PCMH enrollment was significantly associated with greater outpatient service use, but there was no difference in the probability of inpatient hospitalizations or ED visits.
