A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that among women receiving treatment for uterine fibroids, those with Medicaid were more likely to receive uterine artery embolization (UAE) than those with commercial insurance. The research, published today in the Journal of the American College of Radiology examined the propensity for women to receive either surgical treatment (hysterectomy or myomectomy) or the less invasive UAE procedure for uterine fibroids. This study was based on 579,153 women receiving one of these three treatments and examined how treatment patterns differed by insurance type鈥攃ommercial or Medicaid.
