摘要 | We study the effect of losing insurance on psychiatric – mental health disorder (MHD) and substance use disorder (SUD) – hospital-based care. Psychiatric disorders cost the U.S. over $1T each year and hospitalizations provide important and valuable care for patients with these disorders. We use variation in public insurance coverage (Medicaid) eligibility offered by a large-scale and unexpected disenrollment in the state of Tennessee in 2005 that lead to 190,000 individuals losing their insurance. Medicaid enrollees are at elevated risk for psychiatric disorders. Following the disenrollment, hospitalizations for psychiatric disorders declined: 7.3% for MHD and 16.5% for SUD. The financing of care received also changed, MHD hospitalization financing was partially shifted to private insurance while SUD financing was transferred entirely to patients. In an extension, we provide suggestive evidence that psychiatric health declined post-disenrollment. |
