Payer type and low-value care: comparing Choosing Wisely services across commercial and Medicare populations.
This study compared low-value health service use among commercially insured and Medicare populations and explored the influence of payer type on the provision of low-value care. In measuring use of seven Choosing Wisely-identified low-value services, it concluded that low-value care appears driven by factors unrelated to payer type or anticipated reimbursement.

Recent health care use and Medicaid entry of Medicare beneficiaries.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Medicaid entry and recent health care use among Medicare beneficiaries. Although recent health care use predicted greater likelihood of Medicaid entry, half of new Medicaid participants used no hospital or nursing home care during the study period.
