Two additional count outcomes measured the number of inpatient MH stays and outpatient MH visits.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A 2-percentage point higher level of MMC penetration was associated with a 9% reduction (adjusted incidence rate ratio = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.87, 0.94) in days of inpatient MH stays among all enrollees and a 7% reduction (adjusted incidence rate ratio= 0.93, 95% CI = 0.87, 0.99) among enrollees with MH conditions. MMC penetration was not associated with significant changes in other outcomes.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Among non-elderly adults and those with MH conditions, increased MMC enrollment was associated with reduced inpatient MH services with no significant changes in the use in other settings. Ongoing monitoring is crucial to assess the potential impact of shortened inpatient stays on MH outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":18364,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care","volume":"63 5","pages":"338-345"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
