Access to care among Medicaid and uninsured patients in community health centers after the Affordable Care Act

Table 3 Reasons for not following up on referral, by insurance status

	Continuous Medicaid coverage last 12 months (N = 34)	Uninsured for any period in last 12 months (N = 90)	p-value
Cost/insurance barriers	18.9%	69.8%	< 0.01
Logistical barriers	60.0%	13.8%
Other	21.1%	16.4%

Notes: The number of respondents is unweighted; percentages are weighted to account for survey the design. Responses are reclassified into categories and exclude patients with pending appointments, who were waiting for the referral, needed to reschedule their appointment, or were referred at the time of the survey. Those uninsured for any period in the last 12 months include respondents who reported being uninsured at the time of the survey and currently insured respondents who reported being uninsured at any point in the last 12 months. Those with Medicaid include respondents who reported having Medicaid coverage in each of the last 12 months
