Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between Medicaid pharmacy benefit
restrictions and reports of prescription cost barriers by beneficiaries,
and the relationship between prescription cost barriers and
hospitalizations. The analysis uses data for adult Medicaid beneficiaries
from the 2000–2001 and 2003 Community Tracking Survey household
surveys, combined with data on states’ Medicaid pharmacy benefit
restrictions and characteristics of local health-care markets. Estimation
results show that state Medicaid restrictions are associated with a higher
incidence of reported drug cost barriers and that Medicaid recipients
who report prescription cost barriers experience a greater number of
hospitalizations.
