An article by Becker's Payer Issues referenced a study published in the October 2022 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). The study, “The Impact of HDHPs on Service Use and Spending for Substance Use Disorders,” indicated that offering a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) led to a 6.6% reduction in the probability of using substance use disorder services and a shift in spending from the plan to the enrollee.
A piece by Becker's Hospital Review referenced an article published on AJMC.com, the website of AJMC®. The article, “Gender, Department Linked With Length of Hospital Stay for Patients With Community-Acquired Infections,” covered study findings showing an association for male sex and admittance to the Pulmonology or Surgery department with an increased risk of hospitalization for more than 6 days due to community-acquired infections.
