AJMC® in the Press, March 18, 2022
Coverage of our peer-reviewed research and news reporting in the health care and mainstream press.
A piece by the Michigan Health Lab referenced a study published online ahead of print in the August 2022 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). The study, “Out-of-Pocket Spending for Health Care After COVID-19 Hospitalization,” found that 1 in 10 patients who survive COVID-19 hospitalization have out-of-pocket spending exceeding $2000 within 18 days of discharge. The study was also cited by an article posted on Becker’s Hospital Review.
A study published in AJMC®’s sister journal Evidence-Based Oncology™ was highlighted in a press release by the Community Oncology Alliance. The study, “Considerations to Increase Rates of Breast Cancer Screening Across Populations,” presented data showing that breast cancer screening rates recovered more slowly among some racial/ethnic groups following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
