Health care service use among elderly seasonal migrators.
Little research is available to guide providers and payers on the service use of seasonal migrators. The authors use claims data on fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries' locations throughout the year to (1) identify seasonal migrators and (2) describe the care they receive in each seasonal home, focusing on primary care and emergency department (ED) visits and the relationships between the two.
AHRQ-funded.

Estimating demand for care after a Medicaid expansion: lessons from Oregon.
In order to estimate how the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansions will affect demand for services, the authors measured ambulatory care utilization among adult patients who gained insurance during Oregon's 2008 Medicaid expansion. They found that, in comparisons of the pre- and postcoverage periods, the mean annual encounters among persons who gained insurance increased 22% to 35%, but declined in the comparison groups.
