Managed Care Cast

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we're talking with the University of Southern California's Erin Duffy, PhD, MPH, an author of a study published in the June 2024 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care®. Her study, "Deductible Double Jeopardy: Patients May Pay More Out of Pocket When Pregnancy Crosses 2 Years" discusses how annual high-deductible insurance plans may increase maternity care costs when pregnancies cross 2 calendar years, causing patients to hit their cost-sharing limits twice.
