俄勒冈州医院支付上限在27个月中节省了107.5MM美元, Oregon’s hospital payment cap saved $107.5M over 27 months with no harm to care, staffing, or access, a Brown study found.

自2019年以来,俄勒冈州的医院支付上限将国家保健计划支付额限制在双倍的医疗保险支付率,在27个月中节省了1.075亿美元,对医院的运作、人员配备或病人护理没有负面影响,布朗大学的一项研究发现。 Oregon’s hospital payment cap, limiting state health plan payments to double Medicare rates since 2019, saved $107.5 million over 27 months with no negative impact on hospital operations, staffing, or patient care, a Brown University study found. 该政策将自付成本减少了9.5%,并保持了网络内接入,表明限制过高的医院价格(而不是总成本)能够降低保险费和消费费用而不牺牲质量或接入。 The policy reduced out-of-pocket costs by 9.5% and maintained in-network access, showing that capping excessive hospital prices—rather than overall costs—can lower premiums and consumer expenses without sacrificing quality or access. 调查结果支持其他各州正在考虑的类似改革。 The findings support similar reforms being considered in other states.
