Medicaid and service use among homeless adults
Article Abstract:
A study found that the homeless are able to receive health care services through Medicaid. It was noted, however, that it brings little impact on their access and use of emergency rooms. Some of them were able to get cash benefits from Medicaid, and this group availed more of the outpatient medical services. Meanwhile, the group of indigents who have access to both Medicaid and direct service tend to have better access to medical care.
