Using pharmacy and medical claims data, an open cohort of opioid users was followed before and after policy implementation and categorized as switchers or non‑switchers. Emergency department visits and hospitalizations were compared using a difference‑in‑differences approach. Results showed no significant differences in utilization between individuals affected by prescription changes and those unaffected, suggesting that PMPDP‑related prescribing changes did not alter acute health service use. 000000835 540__ $$fCC BY 000000835 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000835 650__ $$aPain$$023476 000000835 650__ $$aAnalgesics, Opioid$$014660 000000835 650__ $$aManaged Care Programs$$021791 000000835 650__ $$aFee-for-Service Plans$$030931 000000835 650__ $$aPharmaceutical Services$$023902 000000835 650__ $$aInsurance$$020883 000000835 650__ $$aMedicaid$$021932 000000835 650__ $$aPatient Acceptance of Health Care$$023658 000000835 650__ $$aPrescription Drugs$$038366 000000835 650__ $$aDrug Therapy$$018086 000000835 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000000835 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000835 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000835 7001_ $$aJacuzzi, Natalie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000835 7201_ $$aMcConnell.
