Higher Prices In Trauma Centers

In the new March issue of Health Affairs, Daniel Kessler of Stanford University and his team of coauthors compare prices for nontrauma services ([link removed] ) at trauma hospital centers and those hospitals not designated as trauma centers.

In addition to determining that the share of all hospitals in their sample serving as trauma centers grew from 21 to 28 percent between 2012–18, and the percentage of all nontrauma admissions occurring in hospitals serving as trauma centers increased during the study period (41 percent to 50 percent), the researchers also find that trauma centers had about 4 percent higher prices for nontrauma inpatient admissions and 3–5 percent higher prices for nontrauma emergency department visits.
