Providing care at a lower cost
In today’s healthcare environment, it’s critical that quality hospitals provide exceptional care while efficiently keeping costs low. Therein lies the true value to patients and the best use of the hospital resources. The nation’s largest insurance provider, Medicare, is interested in understanding how much it’s paying hospitals across the country for the care provided to its beneficiaries.
To determine how well hospitals are keeping costs low, the measure “Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary” (MSPB) is used. MSPB shows whether Medicare spends more, less or about the same for an episode of care at a specific hospital compared to all hospitals nationally. A lower ratio means that Medicare spends less per patient.
Mercy continuously has a lower MSPB than state and national results.
