Utilization and Costs of Medicare Services by Beneficiaries in Their Last Year of Life
This study examines Medicare utilization in the last year of life by over 10,000 beneficiaries who died in the state of Colorado in 1978. Overall, Medicare use averaged over $6,000 in 1978, compared with use by a random sample of survivors of less than $1,000. Eighty-nine percent of the charges during the last year of life were for services received in a hospital. Average charges vary by entitlement status, with the aged using, on the average, $5…

An Analysis of the Use of Medicare Services by the Continuously Enrolled Aged

Five utilization variables: medical office visits, medical relative value units (RVUs), surgical RVUs, inpatient days, and covered dollars …
Out-of-Plan Use Under Two Prepaid Plans
This analysis of out-of-plan use of physician and paramedical services under a Kaiser plan and under a prepaid option offered by a predominantly fee-for-service group practice (Clinic plan) deals primarily with services that members could have obtained from plan providers ("covered services"). The extent and pattern of out-of-plan use were found to be similar. While 16-20 per cent of plan members used some out-of-plan covered services and the mea…
Use of Hospital Services Under Two Prepaid Plans
This study compares the use of hospital services under two prepaid plans offered to Stanford University employees and their families. One is a Kaiser plan while under the other (Clinic plan), physician services are provided by the Palo Alto Medical Clinic, a multispecialty, largely fee-for-service group practice, and hospital services are covered by a Blue Cross policy. Using age- and sex-adjusted data, the hospital admission rate excluding deliv…
Use of Physician Services under Two Prepaid Plans
Use of physician services under two prepaid plans offered to Stanford University staff is analyzed and compared. One is a Kaiser plan; under the other (Clinic plan), physician and outpatient ancillary services are provided by a predominantly fee-for-service group practice and hospital services are covered by a Blue Cross policy. The two plans provide much the same benefits but, in addition to the difference in their organization, they differ in t…
Factors Affecting the Choice Between Two Prepaid Plans

Under the other (Clinic plan for short), medical services are provided by a predominantly fee-for-service group practice and hospital services are covered by a standard Blue Cross hospital policy; the Clinic plan has been available since the 1950s. The…
