Synopsis
They discuss the history and the impact of these differentials, which often result in higher costs for identical services depending on the site they’re carried out in. For example, services offered within hospitals typically cost significantly more than those offered in ambulatory surgery centers or physician offices. The doctors also describe the role of key stakeholders such as lobbyists and industry players, the outcomes of care provided in various settings, and ongoing legislative efforts to address these issues. Finally, they discuss how physicians can advocate for high quality, value-based care.
