1 IMPACT OF LOSS OF MEDICAID COVERAGE ON ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE: THE TennCare EXPERIENCE Stephanie Connelly, James E. Bailey, Cyril F. Chang, David M. Mirvis University of Tennessee Health Science Center & The University of Memphis Memphis, Tennessee

2 IMPACT OF LOSS OF MEDICAID COVERAGE ON ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE: THE TennCare EXPERIENCE Goal: To determine the impact of disenrollment from TennCare on subsequent health insurance coverage and access to health care

3 HISTORY OF TennCare - I  November, HCFA approved Tennessee’s section 1115 waiver for “TennCare”  January, 1994 – Enrollment in TennCare begins

4 HISTORY OF TennCare - II  2004 – Budget shortfall reaches $650 million, with projected growth exceeding growth in new tax revenue  August, 2005 – Reform efforts initiated

TennCare Reforms  Disenrollment of almost 170,000 previously uninsured or uninsurable beneficiaries  For adults remaining on TennCare: limits of 5 prescription drugs per month elimination of dental care, other services

6 THIS PROJECT  Goal: To determine the impact of disenrollment from TennCare on subsequent health insurance coverage and access to health care  Objectives: complete series of 3 telephone surveys months after disenrollment compare access, utilization, financing and satisfaction with care between enrolled and disenrolled groups

7 TELEPHONE SURVEY #1  Approximately 8 months after initial disenrollment  Sample = statewide, stratified by age, gender and region continuously enrolled group (Group I) respondents disenrolled group (Group II) respondents  Health/health care status before and after TennCare reforms

13 CONCLUSIONS -I  Most TennCare disenrollees remained uninsured 8 months after loss of TennCare coverage.  Those remaining uninsured experienced reduced access, financial protection and satisfaction with care compared to those remaining on TennCare.

14 CONCLUSIONS -II  New insurance provided limited protection, relative to that provided by TennCare, on key measures of access to care and financing of care.  The insured disenrollees reported less access to and satisfaction with care than did those remaining on TennCare.
