Abstract
â¶ Fee-for-service and patient-based payment both increased national health spending, including private (out-of-pocket) spending. â¶ Fee-for service increased inpatient admissions and patient-based payment reduced average length of stay. â¶ Only patient-based payment appears to have had any beneficial effect on “amenable mortality”, but the results are not robust to different econometric specifications.
