摘要 | Well-documented racial disparities in use of medical services raise concerns about such disparities in other aspects of health care. This article compares the difference in Medicaid pharmacy use between black and white dually eligible Medicare beneficiaries, finding that black beneficiaries have significantly fewer prescriptions filled and lower pharmacy costs in 8 of the 10 states examined, despite having higher physician costs. The study findings suggest that simply providing a Medicare prescription drug benefit will not eliminate observed racial disparities in prescription drug use. However, well-designed, well-implemented, and culturally sensitive disease management programs may help reduce disparities. |
