Where do Oregon Medicaid Enrollees seek outpatient care post-Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion?
The purpose of this study was to understand where Oregon Medicaid beneficiaries sought care after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion (emergency department, primary care, or specialist) and the interaction between primary care establishment and outpatient care utilization. Results showed that most newly and returning-insured Medicaid enrollees sought primary care rather than emergency department services and most became established with primary care, suggesting that both insurance and primary care continuity play a role in where patients seek health care services.
