中文摘要
项目概要-项目4
临床实践中的差异通常是由与患者健康需求无关的因素驱动的,例如
程序的偿还率。对于相同的服务,付款率相差高达10倍
在医疗保健的主要资助者--私营保险公司、医疗保险和医疗补助--中,
错误的激励和低效率。这包括过度使用无效但补偿良好的
治疗,或补偿不足,有效的治疗和有限的医疗服务,特别是
在医疗保险和医疗补助登记者中。在这个项目中,我们提出了测试几个假设,
使用核心B的大型数据集,相对较高的商业价格(或较低的医疗补助价格)的潜在危害
包括100%的医疗保险索赔,100%的医疗补助数据,以及来自Optum Labs的商业保险,
Health Intelligence和Health Care Cost Institute(HCCI)。我们首先创建新的区域综合
衡量整体医疗保健利用率和支出,并根据各地区的年龄差异进行调整,
性别、贫困和健康状况。然后,我们会问,高商业报销率(相对于
医疗保险或医疗补助)影响老年人和弱势群体的护理质量-医疗保险和医疗补助接受者-
特别注重弱势群体的准入。我们假设高商业利率导致
减少医疗保险和医疗补助的使用,更多地选择低质量的医疗服务或安全网提供者。
继续这一主题,价格变化可能会对利用率和护理质量产生不利影响,我们还认为,
急诊科(艾德)患者激励措施的不连续性。当医疗保险基金紧急护理,

英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY – PROJECT 4
Differences in clinical practice are often driven by factors unrelated to the health needs of patients, such as
reimbursement rates for procedures. With up to 10-fold differences in payment rates for identical services
across the main funders of health care - private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid – there is enormous potential
for misaligned incentives and inefficiency. This includes both overuse of ineffective but well-compensated
treatments, or underuse of poorly-compensated, effective treatments and limited access to care, particularly
among Medicare and Medicaid enrollees. In this Project, we propose to test several hypotheses regarding the
potential harm of high relative commercial prices (or low Medicaid prices) using the large datasets from Core B
including 100% Medicare claims, 100% Medicaid data, and commercial insurance from Optum Labs, the Blue
Health Intelligence, and the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI). We first create new regional comprehensive
measures of overall health care utilization and spending that are adjusted for differences across regions in age,
sex, poverty, and health status. We then ask whether high commercial reimbursement rates (relative to
Medicare or Medicaid) affect quality of care for the elderly and vulnerable – Medicare and Medicaid recipients -
with a particular focus on access for vulnerable populations. We hypothesize that high commercial rates lead
to less Medicare and Medicaid utilization, and more sorting to lower-quality or to safety net providers.
Continuing on this theme that price shifts may adversely affect utilization and quality of care, we also consider
discontinuities in incentives for emergency department (ED) patients. When Medicare funds emergency care,
hospitals lose money when patients are discharged from the ED, but make money when ED patients are
admitted to hospital;; this does not hold for private-pay patients. We will test the hypothesis that these financial
incentives lead to unnecessary hospitalizations and adverse outcomes, using both a discontinuity approach,
and by considering an exogenous change in ED management practices for some (but not all) hospitals.
Finally, we propose to study how changes in Medicare reimbursement rates influence private prices and health
care quality using a natural experiment in which federal legislative changes caused approximately 100
hospitals to receive an average of 10% higher Medicare reimbursement rates, with no impact on comparable
hospitals. In sum, a better understanding of how the health care delivery environment affects physician
behavior and quality of care can provide makers with guidance on the health risks (and not just the financial
risks) of either high commercial prices, or low Medicare and Medicaid prices.
