Utilization of Counseling Services by Pediatric Patients With Obesity Using MarketScan Data (2017-2019).
The United States has implemented policy efforts for public and private insurance to cover counseling services related to the treatment of obesity. However, no research has yet studied counseling service utilization among pediatric patients with obesity. We used 3 years (2017-2019) of IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database and IBM MarketScan Multi-State Medicaid Data to examine such utilization patterns. We found the proportion of patients receiving any counseling services to be low among both privately insured (7.06%-7.97%) and Medicaid patients (9.51%-11.61%) within 6 months from diagnosis of obesity. This underutilization is concerning as many pediatric patients go undiagnosed, as evidenced in this research. Among the utilized services, nutrition counseling and face-to-face counseling were utilized the most by privately and Medicaid-insured patients over 6- and 12-month follow-ups. Our study underscores the need for implementing policies and programs to promote the utilization of counseling services among pediatric patients.
