abstract: 'Background: Insurance coverage of tobacco cessation medications
|
||||
|
||||
increases their use and reduces smoking prevalence in a population.
|
||||
|
||||
However, uncertainty about the impact of this coverage on health care
|
||||
|
||||
utilization and costs is a barrier to the broader adoption of this
|
||||
|
||||
policy, especially by publicly funded state Medicaid insurance programs.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether a publicly funded tobacco cessation benefit leads to decreased
|
||||
|
||||
medical claims for tobacco-related diseases has not been studied. We
|
||||
|
||||
examined the experience of Massachusetts, whose Medicaid program adopted
|
||||
|
||||
comprehensive coverage of tobacco cessation medications in July 2006.
|
||||
|
||||
Over 75,000 Medicaid subscribers used the benefit in the first 2.5
|
||||
|
||||
years. On the basis of earlier secondary survey work, it was estimated
|
||||
|
||||
that smoking prevalence declined among subscribers by 10\% during this
|
||||
|
||||
period.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods and Findings: Using claims data, we compared the probability of
|
||||
|
||||
hospitalization prior to use of the tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy
|
||||
|
||||
benefit with the probability of hospitalization after benefit use among
|
||||
|
||||
Massachusetts Medicaid beneficiaries, adjusting for demographics,
|
||||
|
||||
comorbidities, seasonality, influenza cases, and the implementation of
|
||||
|
||||
the statewide smoke-free air law using generalized estimating equations.
|
||||
|
||||
Statistically significant annualized declines of 46\% (95\% confidence
|
||||
|
||||
interval 2\%-70\%) and 49\% (95\% confidence interval 6\%-72\%) were
|
||||
|
||||
observed in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction and
|
||||
|
||||
other acute coronary heart disease diagnoses, respectively. There were
|
||||
|
||||
no significant decreases in hospitalizations rates for respiratory
|
||||
|
||||
diagnoses or seven other diagnostic groups evaluated.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: Among Massachusetts Medicaid subscribers, use of a
|
||||
|
||||
comprehensive tobacco cessation pharmacotherapy benefit was associated
|
||||
|
||||
with a significant decrease in claims for hospitalizations for acute
|
||||
|
||||
myocardial infarction and acute coronary heart disease, but no
|
||||
|
||||
significant change in hospital claims for other diagnoses. For
|
||||
|
||||
low-income smokers, removing the barriers to the use of smoking
|
||||
|
||||
cessation pharmacotherapy has the potential to decrease short-term
|
||||
|
||||
utilization of hospital services.'
