Medicaid Managed Care Network Adequacy and Its Impact on Access to Care for Pregnant Women with Opioid Use Disorder

This NIH-funded project studies the impact of Medicaid managed care provider networks on access to care and health outcomes for pregnant women with opioid use disorder, using network measurement, spatial analysis, and machine learning.

Description

The project aims to evaluate how Medicaid managed care provider networks influence access to maternity care, medication for opioid use disorder, and maternal health outcomes for pregnant women with opioid use disorder (PwOUD). The research will measure network adequacy, assess geographic variation, and estimate the impact of state policies enforcing network standards. The training objectives include network measurement, spatial analysis, and machine learning methods.
