Area of Science:

  • Integrative and Complementary Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has extensive research supporting its efficacy.
  • Despite evidence, MBSR is largely not covered by health insurance in the United States.
  • Understanding barriers and facilitators is crucial for expanding insurance coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key questions for health insurance coverage decisions regarding MBSR.
  • To determine barriers and facilitators to MBSR insurance coverage.
  • To establish priority evidence needed for informing coverage policies.

Main Methods:

  • A Delphi process involving 26 key informants from diverse stakeholder groups (insurers, clinicians, patients, etc.).
  • Qualitative interviews generated an initial pool of items related to study aims.
  • Items required ≥80% consensus for retention, ensuring high relevance and agreement.

Main Results:

  • 42 out of 149 (28.2%) items met the consensus criterion.
  • Key factors for coverage include demonstrated efficacy and safety of MBSR.
  • Barriers identified: MBSR not viewed as medical treatment, patient attendance issues. Facilitators: MBSR's potential for mental/psychosomatic issues.
  • Highest priority evidence needed: MBSR's effectiveness for specific conditions and impact on stress.

Conclusions:

  • This study delineates critical areas for research and policy to facilitate health insurance coverage for MBSR.
  • Addressing identified barriers and leveraging facilitators can advance MBSR's integration into mainstream healthcare.
  • Future research should focus on generating robust evidence on MBSR's clinical effectiveness and economic value.
