“…The impact of insurance coverage on preventive care is well documented for both men and women, with greater coverage associated with higher levels of care receipt (Faulkner & Schauffler, 1997;Weissman & Epstein, 1993). One aspect of men's interaction with the health care system that remains underresearched is the role of the PCP in facilitating and coordinating preventive care.…”

To assess the role of having a primary care provider (PCP) in men's up-to-date receipt of recommended preventive services (colonoscopy, pneumococcal and seasonal influenza vaccination, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings), data from the 2005 and 2006 New York City Community Health Surveys (N = 3,728 [2006], 2,810 [2005]) were analyzed. PCP prevalence and men's uptake of each service, overall and by age, race/ethnicity, education, income, insurance status, marital status, and nativity, were evaluated. After controlling for insurance status and other factors, having a PCP significantly predicted receipt of each service (adjusted prevalence ratio from 1.12 [1.08, 1.16] to 1.72 [1.35, 2.22]) and total services. Colonoscopy and seasonal influenza and pneumococcal vaccination receipt were below 70% with or without a PCP. Efforts to increase the proportion of men having a PCP are needed to improve receipt of recommended services. Maximizing awareness and provision of low-use preventive services may be useful.

“…One factor associated with decreased use of preventive services is disproportionate cost-sharing borne by health insurance enrollees, using mechanisms such as deductibles, copayments or coinsurance payments (13)(14)(15)(16). It is estimated that >90% of persons with employer-sponsored fee-for-service (FFS) or preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance were subject to cost-sharing (14).…”
