METHODSWe used the IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims Database, which contains payment data for approximately 50 million members of employer-sponsored health insurance plans (approximately one-third of the employer-sponsored insurance market) across all 50 states. We identified patients aged 18 to 64 years who underwent 1 of 10 common procedures chosen to reflect diverse practice settings, specialties, and acuity levels from 2012–2018 at hospitals or ambulatory surgery centers. Any episodes with one of the included CPT codes were included, even if payments or out-of-pocket-costs were zero. Surgical episodes spanned 2 days before surgery to 30 days after surgery. Out-of-pocket spending was defined as the sum of all insurance plan cost-sharing (payments toward deductibles, coinsurance, or copays). All payments are adjusted to 2018 dollars and winsorized to the 1 st and 99 th percentiles. Analyses were performed in Stata 16 (StataCorp).RESULTSWe identified 1,885,471 surgical episodes. In 96% of episodes, total out-of-pocket spending exceeded $0; in 53% of episodes, it exceeded $1000.
