“…Conversely, returning to work is associated with improved psychological health (Payne and Jones, 1987;Caplan et al, 1989), financial security (Payne and Jones, 1987), selfesteem (Caplan et al, 1989;Vinokur et al, 1991), quality of life (Caplan et al, 1989;Vinokur et al, 1991), and physical health (Ferrie, 2001). Evidence in populations with disabilities also indicates that employment is more helpful than harmful (Inge et al, 1988;Burkhauser and Daly, 2011;Hall et al, 2013). Previous reviews of the related observational literature in psychiatric populations have documented many plausible associations between employment and other outcomes (Marwaha and Johnson, 2004;Waddell and Burton, 2006;Kukla, 2010;Drake et al, 2012;Schennach et al, 2012), yet none reported conclusive findings.…”

“…Overall, 9.5% reported that their benefits had improved while 13.3% reported their benefits had gotten worse after implementation of managed care (Table 1). Compared to previous surveys with this population, 16 respondents were more likely to report fair or poor health and to have difficulties obtaining certain types of medical care post-KanCare implementation, particularly mental health providers and prescription drugs.…”

“…The sampling frame for this study included participants from a prior survey of Kansans with disabilities 16 aged 18e64 (n 5 69) and new participants (n 5 36) recruited via flyers posted at Centers for Independent Living (CILs) across the state. The survey was administered by telephone (n 5 69) or in-person at CILs (n 5 36) by two researchers following scripted administration protocols developed for the study.…”

Background: States are increasingly turning to managed care arrangements to control costs in their Medicaid programs. Historically, such arrangements have excluded people with disabilities who use long-term services and supports (LTSS) due to their complex needs. Now, however, some states are also moving this population to managed care. Little is known about the experiences of people with disabilities during and after this transition.Objective: To document experiences of Medicaid enrollees with disabilities using long-term services and supports during transition to Medicaid managed care in Kansas.Methods: During the spring of 2013, 105 Kansans with disabilities using Medicaid long-term services and supports (LTSS) were surveyed via telephone or in-person as they transitioned to managed care. Qualitative data analysis of survey responses was conducted to learn more about the issues encountered by people with disabilities under Medicaid managed care.Results: Respondents encountered numerous disability-related difficulties, particularly with transportation, durable medical equipment, care coordination, communication, increased out of pocket costs, and access to care.Conclusions: As more states move people with disabilities to Medicaid managed care, it is critically important to address these identified issues for a population that often experiences substantial health disparities and a smaller margin of health. It is hoped that the early experiences reported here can inform policy-makers in other states as they contemplate and design similar programs. Ó 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

“…Because the amount of outpatient services used for Medicare enrollees is negatively associated with employment, one should expect savings of government money (Thomas and Ellis 2013). Moreover, findings support efforts to encourage work because of associations between employment with better health, healthy behaviors, and lower costs (Hall, Kurth, and Hunt 2013). Liu and Stapleton (2010) discussed the problem of short term evaluations based on "cross-sectional" statistics, and highlighted the need for a more detailed view of beneficiaries leaving SSDI for a work phenomenon through longitudinal studies.…”

This paper discusses the development of a simulation model to mimic a return to work phenomenon of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) enrollees in the United States. Agent Based and Bayesian Network methods are used within a multi-method simulation model to capture system conditions and enrollee behavior. Bayesian Network is used within an agent to represent enrollee's decision to work. A developed simulation model can be used to investigate many aspects of the return to work phenomenon. The model is used to answer a sample research query that examines how the perception of an enrollee on work incentives related to health improvements, money, and vocational assistance can affect the return to work phenomenon for 18 to 39 year old SSDI enrollees (at enrollment). This is measured as the total percentage of population with benefits terminated for work.
