Association of patient enrollment in Medicare Part D with outcomes after acute myocardial infarction.
The researchers investigated whether enrollment versus nonenrollment in Medicare's prescription drug plan (Part D) is associated with better outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). They found that only half of Medicare-insured patients with AMI were enrolled in Part D by hospital discharge, and their 30-day and 1-year adjusted outcomes did not differ substantially from nonenrollees.
