Sickle cell disease (SCD) causes significant morbidity, pre-mature mortality and high disease burden, resulting in frequent healthcare use. Co-management may improve utilization and patient adherence with treatments such as Hydroxyurea. The purpose of this study was to describe acute care utilization in Medicaid enrolled patients with SCD, patient factors associated with co-management and adherence to Hydroxyurea. Data from 2,790 patients diagnosed with SCD, age 1 to 65+, enrolled at least 1 month in North Carolina Medicaid between March 2016 and February 2017 were analyzed. Out-patient visits were categorized as: primary care, hematologist and non-hematologist specialist. Nurse practitioners or physician assistants with unidentified specialty type or family practice were categorized separately. Co-management was defined as a minimum of one primary care and one hematologist visit/patient during the study period. There were notable age related differences in utilization of health care services. Only 34.82% of the sample was co-managed. Co-management was higher in the 1-9 (44.88%) and 10-17 year-old groups (39.22%) versus the 31-45 (30.26%) and 65+ (18.75%) age groups. Age had the greatest influence (AUC=0.599) on whether or not a patient was co-managed. Only a third of the sample (32.24%) had at least one Hydroxyurea prescription. Age was the most predictive factor of good Hydroxyurea adherence (AUC 0.6503). Prediction by co-management was minimal with an AUC=0.5615. Co-management was a factor in predicting Hydroxyurea adherence, but further studies are needed to identify the frequency and components of co-management needed to increase adherence and reduce acute care utilization.
