Reforms that increased insurance coverage in Massachusetts did not increase hospital-based care for young people diagnosed with behavioral health disorders, according to a study by Ellen Meara, Ph.D., of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice, Lebanon, N.H., and colleagues. The authors compared inpatient admissions before and after Massachusetts' 2006 health reforms to examine how hospital-based care and insurance coverage changed by studying hospital inpatient and emergency department use from 2003 to 2009.
