Haddad DN, Resnick MJ, Nikpay SS. Does Vertical Integration Improve Access to Surgical Care for Medicaid Beneficiaries? Journal of the American College of Surgeons. 2019 Oct 28.

Vertical integration is increasingly common among surgical specialties in the US; however, the effect of vertical integration on access to care for low-income populations remains poorly understood. We explored the characteristics of surgical practices associated with vertical integration and the effect of integration on surgical access for Medicaid populations.
