Two-state comparison of total joint arthroplasty utilization following Medicaid expansion.
The aim of this study was to determine whether Medicaid expansion was associated with increased utilization rates of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Illinois (which expanded Medicaid) relative to Missouri (which did not expand Medicaid). The investigators concluded that their study demonstrated that Medicaid expansion in Illinois was associated with increased utilization of THA and TKA. They suggested that further study is needed to understand the impact of Medicaid expansion in other states and for other procedures.
