NCT05216458 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
With the passage of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) in March 2021, more consumers than ever before are now eligible for $0 -- or $1 per member per month (PMPM) in Marketplaces that include abortion coverage -- health insurance coverage across the ACA Marketplaces. But many individuals may not be aware of the new subsidies, or of their eligibility for Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR) Silver plans. This project's goal is to examine whether personalized letters and email reminders can increase health insurance enrollment, CSR Silver take-up and $1 PMPM coverage.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05216458
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05216458 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 44,000 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Office of Evaluation Sciences, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Health Behavior appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Control group is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05216458 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
