Sponsor's own description

In partnership with a large Medicare Advantage (MA) insurer (Humana, Inc.) and as part of a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation demonstration program of Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID), the investigators propose to study a randomized controlled quality improvement trial in which Humana randomized MA beneficiaries with COPD to receive proactive outreach for a VBID benefit that provided large reductions in cost-sharing for their maintenance inhalers and telephone-based COPD medication management services in 2020 and 2021. The investigators will analyze changes in racial disparities for inhaler fills, clinical outcomes, health care spending, and acute care utilization.
