Abstract
Overall, pediatric patients transferred for laparoscopic appendectomy had similar insurance coverage to patients admitted directly, but subgroup analysis shows that not all centers follow this trend. Transfer patients were more frequently older and non-Hispanic. This builds upon the existing literature regarding the correlation of funding and transfer practices and highlights the need for additional research in this area.
