Objective: Continuity in patient–provider relationships is important to providing high-quality care for older adults with chronic conditions. We investigated individual and environmental determinants of provider continuity for office-based physician visits among urban older adults with heart failure. Method: We linked Medicare claims with data on neighborhood characteristics for a retrospective cohort of community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries with heart failure in New York City (N = 50,475). Results: Mean continuity using the Bice–Boxerman index was 0.33 (SD = 0.22) (possible range of 0 [no continuity] to 1 [perfect continuity]). Multivariable regression indicated that provider continuity was higher among older, female, and dually eligible beneficiaries. Those with more chronic conditions had higher continuity, controlling for number of medical specialties seen. Continuity was lower for beneficiaries in neighborhoods with high median income and high primary care density. Conclusion: Individual and environmental predictors of provider continuity among urban older adults with heart failure could help to identify those at risk of care fragmentation.
