To assess the impact of managed care(MC) on several dimensions of quality of surgical care among Medicare beneficiaries undergoing carotid endarterectomy(CEA). This was a population-based, observational study of all CEAs(N=9308) in NY. Clinical data were abstracted from medical charts to assess appropriateness and deaths/strokes within 30 days of surgery. Differences in patients, appropriateness, and outcomes were compared using chi square tests and risk-adjusted outcomes compared using regression. Fee-For-Service(FFS, N=8691) and MC(N=897) CEA patients were similar in indications for surgery, perioperative risk, and most comorbidities. There were no differences in inappropriateness between FFS and MC(8.6% v. 8.4%). MC patients were less likely to have a high volume surgeon(20.1% v. 13.5%) or hospital(20.5% v. 13.0%;p<.05). There were no differences in risk-adjusted rates of death/stroke(OR=0.97;95% CI, 0.69–1.37). Medicare MC plans did not have a positive impact on inappropriateness, referral patterns or outcomes of CEA.
