Injection Drugs in Montana
When it comes to the cost of healthcare, one of the biggest areas for potential savings lies in the reimbursement of injectable drugs administered in the outpatient hospital setting. This project creates an analysis process for a health insurance payer to examine their claims data for changes in injection drug cost over time, as well as to test for potential savings through alternate reimbursement strategies.
