Managed Care Weekly Digest – June 16, 2017
Investigators discuss new findings in Medicare and Medicaid. According to news reporting originating from New Brunswick, New Jersey, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Medicaid claims have been used to identify populations of children in foster care in the current literature; however, the ability of such an approach to validly ascertain a foster care population is unknown. This study linked children in the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being-I to their Medicaid claims from 36 states using their Social Security numbers.”
