Hospital Price Markup and Outcomes of Major Elective Operations
This cross-sectional study found that considerable variation in price markup exists across hospitals and that HMHs demonstrated both lower quality and value of care. These findings underscore that HMHs represent a key initial target for national policy efforts targeting pricing regulation, transparency, and quality improvement.
