Differences in Utilization and Self-Reported Health Between All MA and All TM Enrollees, 2001-2003, 2004-2005, and 2006-2007

Reproduced with permission from Health Affairs.45 For each measure of utilization and of health, the differences between all participants enrolled in MA (continuously enrolled or switched into MA within calendar years) and all participants enrolled in TM (continuously enrolled or switched into TM during the calendar year) are plotted by period (2001-2003, 2004-2005, and 2006-2007) with 95% confidence intervals. Estimates of relative utilization (RU) and odds ratios (OR) are presented for comparisons of utilization and health indicators, respectively, with TM beneficiaries serving as the reference group. Statistically significant changes in group differences from 2001-2003 to 2006-2007 are noted at p < 0.10(*) and p < 0.05(**) levels.
