BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to examine insurance-based disparities in mortality, non-home discharges, and ECMO utilization in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
METHODS: Using a national database of U.S. academic medical centers and their affiliated hospitals, the risk-adjusted association between mortality, non-home discharge, and ECMO utilization and (1) the type of insurance coverage (private insurance, Medicare, dual enrollment in Medicare and Medicaid, and no insurance) and (2) the weekly hospital COVID-19 burden (0-5.0%; 5.1-10%, 10.1-20%, 20.1-30%, 30.1%-) was evaluated. Modelling was expanded to include an interaction between payer status and the weekly hospital COVID-19 burden to examine whether the lack of private insurance was associated with increases in disparities as the COVID-19 burden increased.
RESULTS: Among 760,846 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, 214,992 had private insurance, 318,624 had Medicare, 96,192 were dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid, 107,548 had Medicaid, and 23,560 had no insurance. Overall, 76,250 died, 211,702 had non-home discharges, 75,703 were mechanically ventilated, and 2,642 underwent ECMO. The adjusted odds of death were higher in patients with Medicare (aOR 1.28; [95% CI: 1.21, 1.35]; P<0.0005), dually enrolled (aOR, 1.39; [1.30, 1.50]; P<0.0005), Medicaid (aOR, 1.28; [1.20, 1.36]; P<0.0005), and no insurance (aOR, 1.43; [1.26, 1.62]; P<0.0005) compared to patients with private insurance. Patients with Medicare (aOR, 0.47; [CI: 0.39, 0.58]; P <0.0005), dually enrolled (aOR, 0.32; [0.24, 0.43]; P<0.0005), Medicaid (aOR, 0.70; [ 0.62, 0.79]; P<0.0005), and no insurance (aOR, 0.40; [0.29, 0.56]; P<0.001] were less likely to be placed on ECMO than patients with private insurance. Mortality, non-home discharges, and ECMO utilization did not change significantly more in patients with private insurance compared to patients without private insurance as the COVID-19 burden increased.
CONCLUSION: Among patients with COVID-19, insurance-based disparities in mortality, non-home discharges, and ECMO utilization were substantial, but these disparities did not increase as the hospital COVID-19 burden increased.
