@Health_Affairs @Cody_Mullens @AdamMarkovitz @UMich @UM_IHPI 〽️

In their new Forefront article, James Lee, @Cody_Mullens, @AdamMarkovitz, and Janice Probst from @UMich discuss how the expansion of Medicare Advantage (MA) in rural areas highlights a policy paradox: Despite long-standing efforts by the federal government to protect rural hospitals, its actions to expand MA may threaten these very institutions and the vulnerable populations whom they serve. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/for…

Independent rural hospitals had lower negotiated prices for procedural and imaging services than their system-affiliated counterparts. ja.ma/3FjpGFv

In the last 5 years, #telehealth use has become a standard part of care. But has it also driven up the total number of visits or post-visit costs? No, our members report in two timely new preprints. Read more: ihpi.umich.edu/news-events/ne…

Establishing reliable comparative outcome measures in #lungcancer 🫁 is ever more important w/ screening criteria expansion + growth of #valuebasedpayment In our study 📈: hospital-level peri-op mortality was associated with future 5-year survival. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

NEW: Today in @JAMANetworkOpen, a team led by @NickBerlin_MD & @JeffKullgren looks at how out-of-pocket costs and time off work affect older adults' decisions to have a scheduled operation. Paper: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… Story: healthyagingpoll.org/reports-more/p…

@RolvixPatterson @UM_IHPI @ncspMICHIGAN Thanks @RolvixPatterson! Hit me up if you are ever in town!

@JamesD_Lee @UM_IHPI @ncspMICHIGAN This is awesome!! Congrats man!

I am thrilled to be working with America’s best of health services research and health policy @UM_IHPI @ncspMICHIGAN! What a dream!

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing the first 10 drugs selected for Medicare price negotiation. Seniors paid $3.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs for these 10 drugs in 2022. President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is working to bring down those costs.

It's that time again - my list of 10 of the most thought-provoking, surprising, and rigorous studies in health care in 2022! Themes this year: 1) Care delivery changes that work (and don't) 2) Race and health care 3) Natural experiments in the ED + a few misc. cool papers

We're hiring! We're looking for a policy analyst to join our wonderful group of @KFF colleagues. If you are interested in this position, please check out the job description. Or retweet to let others know. Thanks! kff.bamboohr.com/careers/37

Calling all surgeons and surgical trainees who have ever been pregnant to fill out this anonymous survey studying the impact of workload on pregnancy outcomes 😷🤰tinyurl.com/yp2sbnhv thank you to all who have already participated! #ilooklikeasurgeon #ACS2022 @AmCollSurgeons

Attn surgeons who are/have been pregnant🤰Help us understand the impact of workload on outcomes by participating in this short anonymous survey tinyurl.com/yp2sbnhv Together we can impact policies to protect the health of our pregnant surgical workforce #ilooklikeasurgeon

Concerning finding for health equity & value-based care in new @JAMAHealthForum study: #ACOs with a higher % of patients of racial/ethnic minorities were more likely to exit the Medicare ACO program… New work by @sunny_c_lin @kejoynt @Andy_Ryan_dydx jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

Perhaps the best visual answer to “why is American healthcare so expensive?” Market power & agency probs are rampant, but cannot be solved via antitrust. So, at the end of the day, we either regulate prices or prices will be high (and rising). From @USCBO; h/t @DavidIAuerbach

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who worked SO HARD for SO LONG to make this happen. Medicare is going to negotiate drug prices! Out of pocket costs are going to be capped! Insulin at $35 for Medicare! Limits on drug price increases! I am SO PROUD of the amazing team at AARP. ❤️
