There are limited data on health service use and cost in low-income children with type 1 diabetes. This study examined the pattern of use and cost of health care services among low-income children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the state of Alabama Medicaid program. The authors performed descriptive analysis and examined factors that influence cost and health service utilization. Results showed that 5638 children with type 1 diabetes were enrolled in the Medicaid program over 7 years. Direct medical costs for patients with type 1 diabetes increased at a rate substantially higher than total Medicaid spending. White children with type 1 diabetes were found to have significantly higher Medicaid spending and service utilization than Black children with type 1 diabetes, while Hispanic children had the lowest costs. Further, older children with type 1 diabetes were found to have significantly higher Medicaid spending and service utilization than younger children with type 1 diabetes.
