Abstract
Expanded newborn screening does result in additional expenses to the payer, but it also improves patient outcomes by preventing avoidable morbidity and mortality. The screened population benefits from greater QALYs as compared with the unscreened population. Overall, expanded newborn screening in Texas was estimated to be a cost-effective option as compared with unexpanded newborn screening.
