Hospital charges increasing more rapidly for hip fracture patients than surgeon reimbursements

Hospital charges increasing more rapidly for hip fracture patients than surgeon reimbursements In recent years, hospital charges and Medicare payments for patients with hip fractures have increased much more rapidly than charges and payments for orthopaedic surgeons, reports a study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer. The gap in Medicare reimbursements to hospitals compared to surgeons widened substantially in the last decade - even as patient outcomes improved and healthcare resource use decreased, according to a new analysis by Brian Werner, MD, and colleagues of UVA Health, Charlottesville, Va. The results confirm our hypothesis that hospital charges and payments contribute significantly more to the increasing cost of treating a hip fracture patient than surgeon charges and payments do, the researchers write.

Brookdale nursing home chain discharged patients improperly, California prosecutors allege

The coalition led by Kern County District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer, which includes California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, sued Tennessee-based Brookdale Senior Living Inc. in connection with 10 California skilled nursing facilities alleges that the company abruptly transfers or discharges residents to bring in newcomers who will bring in more money.
