Health Affairs is grateful to Eli Lilly and Company for its support of the cluster and briefing.

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in July is, "Hospital And Regional Characteristics Associated with Emergency Department Facility Fee Cash Pricing," which examines cash prices for emergency department (ED) facility fees.

The authors looked at newly available hospital pricing data from a large sample of hospitals across the United States to analyze ED facility fees for self-pay patients (cash prices) and how they vary according to hospital and regional characteristics.

They found vast differences, and potential lessons for policy efforts to better ensure affordable ED care for vulnerable patients.

On July 20, please join authors Morgan A. Henderson and Morgane C. Mouslim, both of the Hilltop Institute of the University of the Maryland, Baltimore Campus, for a detailed discussion of the paper’s data, methods, and policy conclusions.

Health Affairs Senior Editor Michael Gerber will host.

Date: Wednesday, July 20, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)
Access: Health Affairs Insider and Unlimited Members
