Immediate Procedure Reimbursement, 30-Day and 90-Day Episode Payments are Lower in Ambulatory Surgery Centers Versus Hospital Outpatient Departments for Lumbar Laminectomy.
Study design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The primary objective was to compare the immediate procedure reimbursement between ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) for single-level and multilevel lumbar laminectomies in commercially insured patients. The secondary objectives were to compare (1) patient out-of-pocket expenditures and surgeon-specific reimbursement and (2) 30-day and 90-day episode payments between the surgery settings.
Summary of background data: Lumbar laminectomy is a common treatment for lumbar spine pathology, with cases increasing annually in outpatient settings. However, there is no clear consensus on financial savings related to ASCs versus HOPDs for these procedures.
Methods: The Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database identified lumbar laminectomies performed at an ASC or HOPD in patients aged 18-64. Immediate procedure reimbursement, surgeon reimbursement, and 30-day and 90-day payments were constructed from gross payments; corresponding patient out-of-pocket expenditures were extracted. Multivariable regression models estimated adjusted between-setting mean differences and 95% confidence intervals.
Results: After matching, the single-level cohort included 699 patients (36.9% ASCs), and the multilevel cohort included 694 patients (36.0% ASCs). In multivariable models, the adjusted mean of immediate procedure reimbursement was lower for ASCs (single-level: -$2492, P=0.001; multilevel: -$5629, P<0.001). Surgeon reimbursement was higher for single-level procedures in ASCs ($911, P<0.001). Payments were lower for ASCs in the 30-day period (single-level: -$4354, P<0.001; multilevel: -$7781, P<0.001) and 90-day period (single-level: -$3757, P<0.001; multilevel: -$8465, P<0.001).
Conclusions: Immediate procedure reimbursement, 30-day and 90-day payments were lower for ASCs versus HOPDs. Surgeon reimbursement was higher in ASCs for single-level while no difference was observed for multilevel procedures. These findings highlight the potential for savings from performing lumbar laminectomies in ASCs versus HOPDs for commercially insured patients.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Spine Surgery is the ideal journal for the busy practicing spine surgeon or trainee, as it is the only journal necessary to keep up to date with new clinical research and surgical techniques. Readers get to watch leaders in the field debate controversial topics in a new controversies section, and gain access to evidence-based reviews of important pathologies in the systematic reviews section. The journal features a surgical technique complete with a video, and a tips and tricks section that allows surgeons to review the important steps prior to a complex procedure.
Clinical Spine Surgery provides readers with primary research studies, specifically level 1, 2 and 3 studies, ensuring that articles that may actually change a surgeon’s practice will be read and published. Each issue includes a brief article that will help a surgeon better understand the business of healthcare, as well as an article that will help a surgeon understand how to interpret increasingly complex research methodology. Clinical Spine Surgery is your single source for up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for spine care.
