Expanding Social Determinants of Health Benefits Among Public Payers

October 11, 2021Kelsey WaddillNo CommentsHealthPayerIntelligenceSocial Determinants Of Health (SDOH)

HHS needs to expand the list of social determinants of health that public payers can cover and hold public payers accountable to covering preventive services that can help address social determinants of health, the Bipartisan Policy Center said in a report.

“The U.S. can improve population health and health outcomes by integrating social services with the health care system and addressing SDOH before they lead to or exacerbate chronic illness,” the Bipartisan Policy Center stated. 

“To do so, BPC believes it is necessary to both improve the coverage of and access to primary care and preventive services. We recommend a multifaceted approach that improves insurance coverage of preventive and nonmedical services in the Medicaid program and strengthens the primary care workforce through an independent evaluation of workforce shortages, greater use of telehealth and technology, and higher reimbursement rates for select services in Medicaid.”
