ACA, employer plans provide more care than for the uninsured — 4 things to know

Practice Management

Data from a Health Reform Monitoring Survey found that despite remaining concerned about affordability, those covered under the ACA are much more likely to get the care they need than the uninsured, as reported by Healthcare DIVE.

Here are four things to know:

 

1. Those with Medicaid, ACA coverage and employer-based coverage were about equally likely to have undergone a routine check-up during the past 12 months.

 

2. More than two-thirds of adults under each of those coverage categories said they'd had a check-up, compared to about 40 percent of the uninsured.

 

3. Low and moderate-income adults with ACA plans were no more likely to report dissatisfaction with their premiums, issues with paying their medical bills or problems with high out-of-pocket costs than those with employer-based plans.

 

4. Low and moderate-income adults under ACA plans were found to be less satisfied with their provider choices and the protection their plans provide against high medical bills.
