Description of Indicator
This indicator reflects the percentage of residents with public and private health insurance coverage, including Marketplace Plan and Health Choices enrollment.
Why is it important?
Understanding the dynamics of healthcare coverage can guide resource allocation and enhance access to care. These insights will lead to better health outcomes.
How is the region performing?
Since 2020, private healthcare coverage has declined in all three counties, while public coverage has increased during that time. Enrollment across the Commonwealth has followed similar trends. Furthermore, the percentage of individuals without coverage has decreased in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Recent data on Marketplace Plan enrollment is unavailable, but there have been reductions in Health Choices enrollment.
