Medicaid expansion associated with no change in emergency department use across racial and ethnic groups. (Health Serv Res)
Summary: A study has found that there was no significant change in the rate of emergency department (ED) visits among Black, Hispanic, and White adults following the Medicaid expansion provided by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The study looked at ED visit rates and volume in expansion and non-expansion states between 2010 and 2018 and found no change in hospitalization share of ED visits or ED visit volumes.
However, there was an 11.7% increase in the Medicaid share of Hispanic adults, suggesting that eligibility expansions may not change ED use, especially among minorities. These findings have implications for future Medicaid policy decisions.
