Relationship Between Insurance Status and Receipt of Cardiac Tests and Procedures During Hospitalization: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Hospitalized commercially insured patients were more likely to undergo a range of cardiac tests and procedures, some of which may represent low-value care. This may be driven by a combination of physician and patient preference, financial incentives, and social determinants of health. Our findings support the need for hospital payment models focused on increasing value and reducing inequities.
