Appendix G
Selected Results of the Committee’s Commissioned Empirical Analyses
MEDICARE SERVICE CATEGORY UTILIZATION (MONTHLY COST RESIDUAL) BY HRR
To determine the extent to which variation in particular health care services contributes to total variation in Medicare expenditure, the Committee disaggregated price-standardized, risk-adjusted Medicare spending into seven types of services. Table G-1 sorts 306 hospital referral regions (HRRs) by their total monthly adjusted differences from the national mean of spending (also known as residual cost). This table serves as a supplement to Figure 2-5a–h (Medicare Service Category Utilization by Hospital Referral Region), in Chapter 2.1
_________________
1Information on other services categories are available on the Acumen Medicare spreadsheets, which can be accessed through the Institute of Medicine website (http://www.iom.edu/geovariationmaterials).

FIGURE G-1 Input-price-adjusted/total health care spending by hospital referral region (HRR).
NOTE: PHE’s analysis of total health care spending accounts for the commercially insured, Medicare, Medicaid, and the uninsured. HRR regions are divided into five spending quintiles. The figure above illustrates the variation in total health care spending in the United States. Refer to the original subcontractor report for details on methodology, and associated discussion.
