Why Are Hospital Prices Different? An Examination of New York Hospital Reimbursement (PDF)
Gorman Actuarial, Inc., for NYS Health Foundation Dec. 22, 2016 151 pages. "Hospital reimbursement practices are complex and extremely varied ... There are significant differences in overall price levels ... among hospitals of similar size, services, and teaching designation... Hospitals with higher prices do not necessarily have higher quality.... Hospitals ... that serve more Medicare and Medicaid patients garner lower prices in the private commercial market.... Higher-priced hospitals may be higher-priced as a result of various forms of market leverage, which gives them more bargaining power to command higher prices when negotiating with insurers." |
