摘要：

Pandemic-related disruptions in access to medical care services, along with elevated rates of comorbidity, increase the risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19 for people with disabilities. Analyzing data from the 2020 National Health Interview Survey, we examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults' access to medical care services by presence and type of disability. Adults with disabilities, including in each disability category, experienced significant disparities in delayed and unmet need for medical care during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Improving data collection on disabled Americans according to disability status and type of disability, designating people with disabilities as a Special Medically Underserved Population under the Public Health Services Act, and incorporating standardized disability data in electronic health record systems would inform policies, programs, and interventions to achieve equitable access to high-quality medical care services that meet the needs of all people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
