The effects of the transition from Medicaid to Medicare on health care use for adults with mental illness.
The researchers estimated the effect of dual coverage after Medicaid enrollment during the required waiting period among adults with serious mental illness on health care use, overall and related to mental health and substance use disorders. They found that after 12 months of dual coverage, the probability of outpatient care use increased in both states from 4 percent to 9 percent.

Association of psychological disorders with 30-day readmission rates in patients with COPD.
Using a 5 percent sample of Medicare beneficiaries, the researchers examined the association of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, alcohol abuse and drug abuse with early readmission for patients with COPD. They found that psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, psychosis, alcohol abuse and drug abuse are independently associated with higher all-cause 30-day readmission rates for Medicare beneficiaries with COPD.
