Medicare Reimbursement Graphic

May 24, 2010

Kaiser Health News has a nice little interactive graphic that tells you regional Medicare reimbursement rates per enrollee all across the country. The latest numbers (from the Dartmouth Atlas Project) are for 2007, but the graphic also shows rates in 2000 and calculates the rate of spending growth. The darker the green, the higher the spending.

Miami tops the charts at $17,274 per enrollee. That’s compared to $8,682 per enrollee nationally. Our friends down in McAllen, TX clock in at $15,695 per enrollee, but the real story there is their 10.3% growth rate since 2000—compared to 4.7% growth nationally.
