Aim: The aim of this research thesis is to examine the relationship between dental insurance status and dental service use and health outcomes, to ascertain the out of pocket dental expenditure from a consumer perspective and examine the cost-effectiveness of being dentally insured. Methods: The thesis presents a summary of existing literature and examined the relationship between dental insurance status and dental service use and oral health outcomes in working age adults in Australia using a two-year prospective cohort study. Out of pocket dental expenditure was calculated for the 2 year cohort and cost-effectiveness was examined. Baseline data was collected in 2009-10 with two follow ups in 2010-11 and 2011-12, through questionnaires, service use log books and receipts. Dental insurance premium costs were imputed from a database of private health insurance funds, plans and policies. Results: The literature review showed a positive relationship between dental insurance status and favourable dental visiting pattern (regular dental visiting, visiting for check-up and visiting the same dentist). Mixed evidence on a positive relationship with oral health outcomes was reported. The cohort study had a 37% response rate and a 40% retention rate (from baseline) by the end of the two years. 67% of the participants were dentally insured, 73% visited a dental professional, 15% and 23% reported negative change in self-rated oral and general health respectively and mean out of pocket expenditure was $788 during the study period. Dental visiting among the insured was significantly higher than the uninsured. Among those who visited, there were no significant associations with dental insurance for number of visits, services or services per visit. None of the main areas of services were significantly associated with dental insurance status either. However, the insured received significantly higher rates of diagnostic and preventive services per visit. Dental insurance was positively associated with OHIP severity change and negative change in self-rated oral health but not with general health outcomes. Mean net expenditure was marginally higher among the dentally insured participants but not significantly. Dental insurance was cost effective with 95% certainty if an individual consumer was willing to pay $4300 over two years to maintain or improve their self-reported oral health. Conclusion: The systematic analysis of literature and comprehensive analysis of cohort data found that dental insurance is effective in increasing dental visiting. It is also effective in improving oral health outcomes but not general health outcomes. The out of pocket dental expenditure is large but not substantially larger than other common household expenditures. Being dentally insured is more expensive but also provides better maintenance or improvement of oral health among adults. What these results mean for subgroups based on visiting frequency, type of visiting, longer term outcomes and reduction of future expenditure needs to be further examined in larger and longer duration studies.

One of the most important factors in accessing dental care is having dental insurance. For people with low incomes, Medicaid is the main source of health insurance. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. Adult dental services were mostly eliminated in Medi-Cal in 2009 due to the economic downturn and partially restored in 2014. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of change in Medi-Cal dental coverage, specifically the partial restoration of adult dental coverage in 2014, on dental care utilization among Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The partial restoration significantly increased the utilization rates in dental clinics from 2014 to 2017 (22% in 2017 vs. 12% in 2013) for the overall population. However, the magnitude of increase differs in different age groups and ethnic groups. More statistically significant findings show greater utilization rates among beneficiaries of 19-64 than 65-74 and 75+ years old. Also, more significant findings show lower utilization among Black than White, Hispanic or Asian beneficiaries. The partial restoration significantly reduced the dental related ER visits among Medi-Cal beneficiaries from 2015 to 2017. However, the reduction is largely seen in beneficiaries of 19-64 years old in the ethnic groups of White and Black with reductions of 20 and 15 visits per 1,000 enrollees respectively in 2017 comparing to 2013. The dental related ER visits were lower for Hispanics and Asians, and remained very low among those 65 years old and above. In addition, the partial restoration resulted in increases in participation of dental care providers in the Medi-Cal program.
