The majority (59 to 86%) of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) are catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). As of 2008, claims data are used to deny payment for hospital-acquired conditions such as CAUTI and to publicly report hospital performance. To examine rates of UTIs in adults that are coded in claims data as hospital-acquired and catheter-associated and evaluate how often non-payment for CAUTI lowers hospital payment. Before-and-after study of all-payer cross-sectional claims data 96 nonfederal acute-care Michigan hospitals Non-obstetric adults discharged in 2007 (N=757531) and 2009 (N=781343) Hospital rates of UTIs (categorized as catheter-associated and/or hospital-acquired), and frequency of reduced payment for hospital-acquired CAUTIs. Hospitals frequently requested payment for non-catheter-associated UTIs as secondary diagnoses: 10.0% of discharges (95% CI: 9.5 to 10.5) in 2007, 10.3% (CI: 9.8 to 10.9) in 2009. Hospital rates of CAUTI were very low: 0.09% (CI: 0.06 to 0.12) in 2007; 0.14% (CI: 0.11 to 0.17) in 2009. In 2009, 2.6% (CI: 1.6 to 3.6) of hospital-acquired UTIs were described as catheter-associated. Non-payment for hospital-acquired CAUTIs lowered payment for 25 of 781343 (0.003%) hospitalizations in 2009. Data are from only one state and involved only one year before-and-after non-payment for complications. Hospital prevention practices were not examined. CAUTI rates determined by claims data appear inaccurate and are much lower than expected from epidemiologic surveillance data. The financial impact of current non-payment policy for hospital-acquired CAUTI is low. Claims data is currently not a valid dataset for comparing hospital-acquired CAUTI rates for the purpose of public reporting or imposing financial incentives or penalties.
