When state Medicaid demonstrations end: projected eligibility loss after a MassHealth housing support program transition.
Article in Health affairs scholar, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Massachusetts Medicaid (MassHealth) transitioned a Section 1115 waiver-based housing support program to a permanent program in 2025, implementing new eligibility restrictions. Methods: We projected the potential impact of these new eligibility restrictions using linked administrative claims and programmatic data. Results: Among individuals enrolled from 2021 to 2024, 68% would no longer qualify under updated 2025 criteria. Those projected to remain eligible were older and had more chronic conditions and higher healthcare utilization than those projected to be ineligible, but similar prevalence of opioid use disorder and mental illness. Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential for unintended consequences in eligibility prioritization stemming from operational shifts in Medicaid waiver-based programs.
