AJMC® in the Press, July 22, 2022
Coverage of our peer-reviewed research and news reporting in the health care and mainstream press.
A piece by Home Health Care News referenced a study published in the July 2022 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). The study, “Geographic Variation in Medicare Home Health Expenditures,” sought to identify the sources of the significant 2.5-fold variation found in home health expenditures, a possible indicator of inefficiency and waste.
A study published in the June 2022 issue of AJMC®, titled “Variation in Network Adequacy Standards in Medicaid Managed Care,” was referenced in articles by Legal Reader and InsuranceNewsNet. The study indicated that Medicaid managed care network adequacy standards exhibit significant heterogeneity across regions and specialties, potentially creating large variations in health care access and quality.

The piece, “Restorative Yoga Better Than Stretching for Trimming Subcutaneous Fat in Overweight Women,” provided coverage from the 73rd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association.
