So, we’ve seen a bunch of statistics lately, all about healthcare, and we thought we would list some here, just for “fun”
Per Beckers Hospital Review (11 Statistics on Average Hospital Costs Per Stay):
Mean hospital cost per stay by age, 18-44 $7,400; 45-64 $12,500. (From the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality).
From Modern Healthcare November 25, 2013 issue (High outlier payments. . )
The top 3 inpatient treatments resulting in outlier payments for 2008-11 (Medicare) were all due to complications and resulted in total outlier payments of more than $2.5B. Three of the hospitals with the largest share of outlier payments for the same period were affiliated with Cancer Treatment Centers of America.
