The Role of Prices In Excess US Health Spending
[link removed]
Today, we released two Considering Health Spending
Research Briefs
addressing the roles of prices and clinical waste in excess US health
spending.
One brief, titled "The Role Of Prices In Excess US Health Spending
",
points to high prices in the private sector as a critical driver of
excess health spending and growth in the US.
The paper indicates that US health care prices vary widely among
hospitals and between public and private insurers. Additionally, US
prices are higher than those in comparable countries.
Another brief examines the role of clinical waste
in excess US health spending. According to the research cited in this
brief, clinical waste is a critical driver of excess health spending in
the US, accounting for 5.4-15.7 percent of national health spending.
The findings of this brief also indicate that overtreatment accounts for
2.0-8.4 percent of total US health spending.
Considering Health Spending Research Briefs are supported by the
National Pharmaceutical Council and by Anthem, Inc. Briefs are produced
by Health Affairs staff based on research conducted to support the
Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value.
