The Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Care for Patients With Diabetes by Primary Care Provider Supply
Medicaid expansion improved coverage, preventive care, and mental health outcomes for low-income adults with diabetes, with more pronounced benefits in high-PCP-supply states. These findings underscore the importance of adequate PCP capacity to optimize the impact of coverage expansions in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes. Policymakers aiming to enhance care for vulnerable patients with diabetes should consider investing in primary care infrastructure alongside coverage expansions.
