- Title
The Commercial Differential for Hospital Prices: Responses From States and Employers.
- Authors
Koller, Christopher F.; Khullar, Dhruv
- Abstract
This Viewpoint reviews the discrepancy in prices paid for hospital services by commercial insurers vs Medicare and Medicaid, and calls for greater hospital accountability, cost transparency, and data to guide pricing so that the cost of services are benchmarked to the value they offer patients and paying employers rather than the negotiating leverage of health care organizations.
