Provider responses to discontinuous tariffs: evidence from Dutch rehabilitation careInternational Journal of Health Economics and Management - Tập 22 - Trang 333-354 - 2022
Katalin Gaspar, Xander Koolman
Abrupt jumps in reimbursement tariffs have been shown to lead to unintended
effects in physicians’ behavior. A sudden change in tariffs at a pre-defined
point in the treatment can incentivize health care providers to prolong
treatment to reach the higher tariff, and then to discharge patients once the
higher tariff is reached. The Dutch reimbursement schedule in hospital
rehabilitation care follow... hiện toàn bộ

financial crisis. The basic objective of this study is to provide empirical
evidence on the effect of combining social health insurance (SHI) and private

to Portuguese NHS administrative data for IHD discharges during two periods,
2008–2015 vs.... hiện toàn bộ
Opioid and non-opioid analgesic prescribing before and after the CDC’s 2016 opioid guidelineInternational Journal of Health Economics and Management - Tập 22 - Trang 1-52 - 2021
William Encinosa, Didem Bernard, Thomas M. Selden
The U.S. has addressed the opioid crisis using a two-front approach: state
regulations limiting opioid prescriptions for acute pain patients, and voluntary
federal CDC guidelines on shifting chronic pain patients to lower opioid doses
and non-opioids. No opioid policy research to date has accounted for this
two-pronged approach in their research design. We develop a theory of physician
prescribing... hiện toàn bộ
