[1/5] Thank you for lifting this work @AnnalsofSurgery. We are honored to share our findings, which to our knowledge is the 1st national comparison to show that Medicare eligibility mitigates adverse financial outcomes after surgery, which could also affect clinical outcomes.

We put this together after the ACS hosted a Trauma Policy session last year — hope it spurs internal discussions about how policy and its implementation can be used to further improve trauma care

Making one bad turn to find a hospital - say turning left instead of right - may have our patients paying nearly $1000 more out of pocket for their emergency general surgery. We need real policy solutions 📃 to fix this prime example of financial vulnerability

[Pooja U Neiman, MD MPA @PoojaNeiman]

@JAMASurgery @DrJohnScott @vhmouli @kathrynk_taylor @UMichCHOPFellow @ncspMICHIGAN @BrighamSurgery High OOP costs lead to financial distress, especially for vulnerable patients. Not only are patients not getting what they pay for, but also they are unable to pay for what they get.

Time for some policy solutions.

[Pooja U Neiman, MD MPA @PoojaNeiman]

.@JAMASurgery just published our RL showing ⬆️⬆️ variability in OOP costs for common emergency general surgery operations across the US but it doesn't correlate with quality. https://t.co/UtTAKMWZbU
