Community health center use after Oregon's randomized medicaid experiment.
To better understand the effect of new Medicaid coverage on community health center (CHC)use over time, the researchers studied Oregon’s 2008 randomized Medicaid expansion (the “Oregon Experiment”). Their results suggest that use of many different types of CHC services will increase as patients gain Medicaid through Affordable Care Act expansions.

An early look at rates of uninsured safety net clinic visits after the Affordable Care Act.
The researchers tested the hypothesis that rates of uninsured safety net clinic visits would significantly decrease in states that implemented Medicaid expansion, compared with states that did not. They found that, overall, clinics in the expansion states had a 40% decrease in the rate of uninsured visits in the postexpansion period and a 36% increase in the rate of Medicaid-covered visits, while clinics in the nonexpansion states had a significant 16% decline in the rate of uninsured visits but no change in the rate of Medicaid-covered visits. They concluded that their findings suggest that Affordable Care Act-related Medicaid expansions have successfully decreased the number of uninsured safety net patients in the United States.

Examining continuity of care for Medicaid-enrolled children receiving oral health services in medical offices.
To understand continuity of oral health services for Medicaid-enrolled children utilizing the North Carolina (NC) Into the Mouths of Babes (IMB) preventive oral health program, the researchers examined the time to a dentist visit after a child’s third birthday. They found that children with only IMB visits compared to only dentist visits before age 3 had lower rates of dentist visits after their third birthday.
