People who suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are more likely to lose or alter their private health insurance coverage merely when they require it most, in accordance to a recent US analysis.
Examining a 3-year period, researchers also discovered that the more severe the brain injury, the quicker persons lost or saw changes in their health coverage.
Most subjects gained health insurance through their jobs, so any change in coverage was likely because of changes in their employment, say the authors of the research letter in JAMA Surgery.
“Individuals who were the primary policy holder might have lost coverage because they were not able to sustain in their job and became unemployed/uninsured,” co- author Eric Schneider of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston told Reuters Health by email.
