Happy HCCUR day to all who celebrate (i.e., health care data and policy nerds ;-))! Congrats to the @HealthCostInst team!

⚡️New Report: HCCI’s 2022 annual report examines health care spending, use, and prices from 2018-2022 among the ESI population. In 2022, per-person spending among people with ESI averaged more than $6,700. https://t.co/YRHqkszPCb

Great to have new work on prices in self-insured plans out in @Health_Affairs. Using @HealthCostInst data, we find that employers aren't negotiating lower prices for employees in self-insured plans despite incentives to do so. https://t.co/sWKjOW7mfk

[Aditi Sen @aditipsen]

Thanks to my @HealthCostInst colleagues for their collaboration on this topic I've been interested in for a while. And thanks to @Health_Affairs reviewers and editors for suggestions that improved the paper and for featuring the paper today!

📢 Exciting research update! Our latest study reveals a fascinating trend among #Ozempic users. Over time, we have observed a decrease in the percentage of users diagnosed with #diabetes, hinting at a rise in off-label utilization.

We're hiring a Senior Researcher @HealthCostInst! Join us to bring the best data to inform policy on health care prices, maternal health, and many other topics. My biggest problem at HCCI: Not enough time for all the timely, policy research we want to do! https://t.co/XWyzVbvaI8

Thanks so much, @GilliganChris, for highlighting @HealthCostInst work on the costs of giving birth in the U.S.

Just in time for Mother’s Day! High and highly variable prices for childbirth impact so many families.

Our @HealthCostInst 2021 Health Care Cost and Utilization Report shows a rebound in health care use and spending after a drop in 2020 in the early stages of COVID-19.
And health care prices kept on rising... https://t.co/LBYVk1Vkqk

[HCCI @HealthCostInst]

After the initial shock of COVID-19 to the health care system in 2020, spending and use of services rebounded in 2021 as prices continued to rise. #HCCIdata #HCCUR2021
