Awarded funding by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, under its Research in Transforming Health & Health Care Systems program, our team is conducting a study to assess changes to Medicaid and ACA eligibility, and the effects of fully subsidized public coverage relative to partially subsidized private coverage for near-poor adults.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation previously awarded grants to our team under two rounds of its State Health Access Reform Evaluation (SHARE) initiative. This funding has supported study of BadgerCare Plus enrollment, efficiency, and churning of covered members, and currently supports assessment of Core Plan utilization by childless adults and the predictive value of the health needs assessment.
Our team also previously conducted evaluation under Wisconsin’s State Health Access Program (SHAP) award from HRSA. DHS in 2013 procured from the Institute an evaluation of the changes that took effect under DHS Medicaid Efficiencies initiative. Our team previously evaluated changes to Badgercare under Wisconsin’s federal waivers adopted in 2008 and in 2012.
