Health Measures Across Different Social Security Disability Groups
- 27.3% of SS Beneficiaries were hospitalized, while 53.7% had more than 5 visits to a medical provider. 21.1% of SS Denied individuals were hospitalized, while 41.9% had more than 5 visits to a medical provider.
- The general population, in comparison, had 6.9% hospitalizations and 15.5% provider visits.
- These numbers are significant considering the denied group is least likely to have health insurance.
- Based on self-reported health, 6.9% of the general population reports fair or poor health. The denied group comes to 50% and beneficiaries come to 62.5%.
- Health care utilization and self-reported health stats estimate that SS Denied individuals may have better health than beneficiaries, but, overall, both groups face significant challenges.
- "Other Public or Private Beneficiaries" individuals fall under a "middle population, that has better health than SS denied and beneficiaries, but overall poorer health than the general population.
