Younger Seniors Amass More Costs for End-of-Life Care Than Oldest Americans
Kaiser Health News July 14, 2016
"Medicare claims data for 2014 for beneficiaries who died the same year shows that average Medicare spending per person peaked at age 73 -- at $43,353 ... That compared with $33,381 per person for 85-year-olds and among 90-year-olds, $27,779 per person.... researchers said their findings suggest that providers, patients and their families may favor more costly, lifesaving care for younger seniors, and turn to hospice care when patients are older."
