Abstract
Overview of Key Findings
- In 2016, rural county residents represented 21.8% of the fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare population, but only 1.6% of rural FFS beneficiaries live in a county with local utilization of Health and Behavioral Assessments and Interventions (HBAI) services.
- Utilization of HBAI services in 2016 occurred in 19 (9.7%) rural counties and 176 (90.3%) urban counties.
- Average utilization rates of HBAI services were higher in rural counties than urban counties (0.7% vs. 0.4%).
