“…Medications are often a major financial burden for patients with MH/SUDs. In 2019, prescribed medications accounted for 29% of all US expenditures for treating mental health disorders, 22 and average prices for branded drugs have increased much more rapidly than generic drugs in recent years, contributing more heavily to patients’ spending burden. 23 Our analysis found relative out-of-pocket spending decreases were similar for medications primarily indicated for MH vs SUDs, suggesting cost-sharing reductions were widely felt among patients.…”

ImportanceOn January 1, 2022, New Mexico implemented a No Behavioral Cost-Sharing (NCS) law that eliminated cost-sharing for mental health and substance use disorder (MH/SUD) treatments in plans regulated by the state, potentially reducing a barrier to treatment for MH/SUDs among the commercially insured; however, the outcomes of the law are unknown.ObjectiveTo assess the association of implementation of the NCS with out-of-pocket spending for prescription for drugs primarily used to treat MH/SUDs and monthly volume of dispensed drugs.Design, Settings, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study used a difference-in-differences research design to examine trends in outcomes for New Mexico state employees, a population affected by the NCS, compared with federal employees in New Mexico who were unaffected by NCS. Data were collected on prescription drugs for MH/SUDs dispensed per month between January 2021 and June 2022 for New Mexico patients with a New Mexico state employee health plan and New Mexico patients with a federal employee health plan. Data analysis occurred from December 2022 to January 2024.ExposureEnrollment in a state employee health plan or federal health plan.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were mean patient out-of-pocket spending per dispensed MH/SUD prescription and the monthly volume of dispensed MH/SUD prescriptions per 1000 employees. A difference-in-differences estimation approach was used.ResultsThe implementation of the NCS law was associated with a mean (SE) $6.37 ($0.30) reduction (corresponding to an 85.6% decrease) in mean out-of-pocket spending per dispensed MH/SUD medication (95% CI, −$7.00 to −$5.75). The association of implementation of NCS with the volume of prescriptions dispensed was not statistically significant.Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that the implementation of the New Mexico NCS law was successful in lowering out-of-pocket spending on prescription medications for MH/SUDs, but that there was no association of NCS with the volume of medications dispensed in the first 6 months after implementation. A key challenge is to identify policies that protect from high out-of-pocket spending while also promoting access to needed care.

“…Within this landscape of evolving healthcare paradigms, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) emerges as a key player committed to addressing operational challenges through innovative analytical approaches. Leveraging the wealth of data housed within an integrated infrastructure, the HHS aims to navigate and solve complex issues inherent in the healthcare system [5], [6], [7]. The integration of diverse analytical methodologies positions the organization to extract actionable insights, enhancing its ability to make informed decisions that positively impact patient outcomes and organizational efficiency.…”

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Integrated Healthcare Systems have emerged as crucial components in effectively managing healthcare challenges. This study delves into the multifaceted role of integrated systems, with a particular focus on the pivotal aspects of text analytics. An exploration of various applications of text analytics unfolds, shedding light on its diverse utility within the healthcare landscape. Extensive reviews of problems encountered by different organizations and insights gleaned from research contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by Health and Human Services (HHS). These challenges, intricately linked to issues such as hospital strains and consumers' personal experiences, are thoroughly examined to provide actionable solutions. A key emphasis is placed on the indispensability of data integration, and the abstract discusses how various analytic approaches can be strategically employed within a well-integrated database system. The nuances of implementing an integrated model are scrutinized, highlighting the primary challenges that organizations, particularly HHS, may encounter. Subsequently, potential solutions are presented, leveraging the power of OLAP to construct a dashboard tailored to address the identified problems. Beyond the technical intricacies, the abstract explores the ramifications of an integrated approach on decision-making processes within HHS. The discussion extends to the acceleration of decision-making possibilities, underlining the imperative need for timely and informed actions in the face of healthcare challenges. In essence, this study provides a nuanced exploration of the role of Integrated Healthcare Systems during the COVID-19 pandemic, incorporating insights from text analytics, data integration, and analytic methodologies. The findings aim to contribute valuable perspectives to healthcare organizations, particularly HHS, as they navigate and mitigate the complexities posed by the ongoing global health crisis.
