National Inpatient Hospital Costs: The Most Expensive Conditions by Payer, 2011: Statistical Brief #160

Abstract

This Statistical Brief presents data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) on costs of hospital inpatient stays in the United States in 2013. It describes the distribution of costs by expected primary payer and illustrates the conditions accounting for the largest percentage of each payer's hospital costs. The primary payers examined are Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and uninsured. The hospital costs represent the hospital's costs to produce the services—not the amount paid for services by payers—and they do not include the physician fees associated with the hospitalization.
