  1. Medicaid and SCHIP Data for Harris CountyEnrollees and ProvidersSeptember 2007 Patrick Courtney – UT School of Public Health Deborah Ganelin - MHHS

  2. Data Sources • Enrollees - Data Source: Texas Medicaid Program. September 2007 Point-in-Time Enrollment (Med-ID File). Data Compiled By: Demography Unit. Strategic Decision Support. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). • Providers – TMHP September 2007 manual listing primary care case management providers. • Unclear if list of SCHIP providers is available at this time. • Low income Medicaid = TANF population (“moms and kids”)

  3. Medicaid providers • Manual lists only family practice, internal medicine, OB/GYN, and pediatrics (e.g. no surgeons, specialists, etc.) • The majority of Texas Health Steps providers seem to be either family practice or pediatrics • Separate breakdown by above type may be shaky, since manual lists some providers under two categories (I counted them where I saw them first). However, that could be mapped as you wish. • Providers listed at more than one address are counted partially for each one (e.g. two addresses, .5 at each one)

  4. Top Medicaid providers • The following map shows the locations of places where three or more Medicaid providers are currently accepting new patients • Top two addresses are 1504 Taub Loop (Ben Taub) and 6410 Fannin (UT Professional Building, which has many clinics)

  5. Personal thoughts • Some of the areas in town with the highest rates of Medicaid enrollment have no providers accepting Medicaid (e.g. south edge of Lake Houston). • The Medicaid and SCHIP frequency maps look very much like the frequency map for primary care related ED visits (from last year’s ED study), although they are not completely identical.
