Abstract
Highly prevalent in children with CP using Medicaid, coexisting conditions correlate strongly with healthcare spending. Tracheostomy and enterostomy, which indicate significant functional impairments in breathing and digestion, are associated with the highest spending. Families, providers, payers, and legislators may leverage these findings when designing policies positioned to enable the best health and care for children with cerebral palsy.
