Long-term healthcare utilization by Medicaid enrolled children with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate healthcare utilization in Medicaid enrolled children with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in the first 2 years of life. The investigators concluded that a diagnosis of NAS did not appear to be an independent predictor of increased healthcare utilization in the first 2 years of life. They indicated that their results differed from some other published studies.

Medicaid pay for performance programs and childhood immunization status.
This national study examined the effects of pay for performance (P4P) programs on childhood immunization rates. It found no overall effect of Medicaid P4P on the chance that children aged 19-35 months had completed the 4:3:1:3:3:1 vaccination series. However, there was a 4 percentage point increase in the chance that a child 19-23 months had completed the series.
