The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded the University of Southern California $1,362,414 on July 28, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to evaluate how Medicaid coverage changes affect diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) outcomes in safety-net populations. The research examines how insurance coverage and covered podiatry services influence outpatient foot care utilization, emergency department visits, and DFU outcomes among safety-net populations with diabetes, particularly low-income and Latino patients. The study leverages electronic health records from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, Medicaid claims data, and survey and interview data to assess how insurance status and non-clinical factors—including lack of health insurance, financial instability, and limited English proficiency—integrate to influence outpatient foot care and emergency department use. The research also compares primary and foot care utilization among patients enrolled in the MyHealth LA program and matched non-enrollees with diabetes. California's recent Medicaid expansions—including reinstatement of routine podiatry coverage for full-scope beneficiaries in January 2020 and extension of full-scope coverage to income-eligible individuals ages 50 and older as of May 1, 2022, and ages 24–49 as of January 1, 2024—provide the study context. Performance occurs in Los Angeles, California, with a period of performance extending through December 31, 2030.
