Dexur analyzed Apr 2016 to Mar 2019 Medicare claims data for Kidney & UTI Hospitalizations in Louisiana to benchmark cost of care (i.e. Medicare Payments) across a 90-day episode of care from the date of admission. The cost of care is calculated by summing all medicare payments from the date of admission for 90 days and tracks the patient for any hospital readmission and post-acute care facilities including Hospice, home health, and hospice. The lower the cost of care, the higher the ranking because lower costs imply better quality (fewer days in the hospital, Hospice and home health) and also better economic outcomes for patients and insurance companies.
