Description:Health insurance coverage is an important factor associated with use of preventive health care services. Uninsured persons use less preventive health care than do those with insurance, and among persons with insurance, use of preventive care varies with the type of coverage. The Rand Health Insurance Experiment (HIE), in which persons were randomly assigned to insurance plans, showed that those enrolled in Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOS) received more preventive health care than did those with fee-for-service coverage, and that use of preventive care was inversely related to the level of out-of-pocket spending (l). Results from the HIE so showed that poor women with free fee-for-service coverage were more likely to receive Pap tests than those with cost-sharing plans (2), In contrast, among nonpoor women, there was no difference in Pap test usage between women with free and cost-sharing plans (2). An analysis of data flom the 1987 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) found that cancer screening rates were greater for women who reported an HMO as their usual source of care than for those who reported some other place as their usual sourceof care (3).
