Abstract:
Despite their considerable policy importance, limited work has been done that examines combined Medicaid and Medicare service use and spending patterns for dual eligibles. In this brief, we update a previous study and present findings based on analysis of linked 2007 Medicare and Medicaid data. Specifically, we examine characteristics, health status, utilization, and spending for dual eligibles compared to the non-dual Medicare population.
