Reducing Frictions in Health Care Access: The ActionHealthNYC Experiment for Undocumented Immigrants
In 2016, New York City designed and implemented an intervention to reduce frictions in accessing safety net care: randomly making initial primary care appointments for 2,428 undocumented immigrants. We leverage a novel survey-administrative data linkage to show that the program increased self-reported access to primary care, leading to 23 percent fewer emergency department (ED) visits. High-risk individuals’ ED visits fell by 32 percent on average, driving the aggregate effect. Preventive care also increased among individuals visiting sponsored clinics.
