UT Study: Texas Medicaid Performance Study

UT School of Public Health study confirms Texas Medicaid is on par with or better than private coverage.

The University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) is using all payer administrative claims and encounter data to compare access and quality measures of Medicaid enrollees to populations with commercial coverage.

As part of the effort to assess and monitor Medicaid performance under capitated managed care, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) contracts with the Institute for Child Health Policy at the University of Florida as the External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) to compare access and quality measures of MCO performance to state and national standards. To complement the work of the EQRO, the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) is using all payer administrative claims and encounter data to compare access and quality measures of Medicaid enrollees to populations with commercial coverage. Download  View
