Expansion is often framed as a yes/no choice. Our findings suggest it’s more nuanced; policy context & implementation shape whether coverage translates into evidence-based care. Grateful to my coauthors and collaborators. More to come as we continue examining how Medicaid design influences access.

New paper - Medicaid "unwinding" associated with net decrease in buprenorphine prescribing for opioid use disorder (some offset from commercial insurance). Some state policies mitigated this negative impact. Hats off to @drsumedhagupta.bsky.social for this work! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

New in @Health_Affairs: Christopher Behrer, Velda Wang, Jessica Banthin, @KateBundorf & I find post-unwinding Medicaid redeterminations led to minimal changes in overall uninsurance as many offset Medicaid loss with employer-sponsored or private insurance.@IUImpact @IUNewsroom
