Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Public Health Policy
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • National disability-associated health care expenditures (DAHE) are growing.
  • There are shifts in the distribution of DAHE across different health insurance types.
  • Updated state-level DAHE estimates are essential for informed policy and resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide updated state-level estimates of disability-associated health care expenditures (DAHE).
  • To analyze the changes in DAHE from 2003 to 2015.
  • To examine DAHE per person with a disability (PWD) across different states and insurance types.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2013-2015), Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2013-2015), and National Health Expenditure Accounts (2014).
  • Calculated state-level DAHE for all US adults, per adult, and per person with a disability (PWD).
  • Adjusted all expenditures to 2017 prices and assessed trends from 2003 to 2015.

Main Results:

  • In 2015, national DAHE totaled $868 billion, representing 36% of total health care expenditures, with significant state variations.
  • Total DAHE increased by 65% between 2003 and 2015.
  • DAHE per PWD in 2015 ranged from $12,603 (Alabama) to $27,839 (District of Columbia), with substantial variation across Medicare, Medicaid, and nonpublic insurers.

Conclusions:

  • Disability-associated health care expenditures are substantial and exhibit considerable state-level disparities.
  • The public sector plays a significant role in financing the health care costs for individuals with disabilities.
  • These updated state-level DAHE estimates can guide policymakers in developing effective public health programs for people with disabilities.
