Great work Sarah! It’s fine reporting. Similarly, AHA hired a consulting firm to try and discredit our pricing paper http://www.aha.org/content/16/noetherpricingcommentary.pdf …

Here’s some facts Emergency care is roughly 2% of US Healthcare expenditures despite accounting for 48% of all healthcare visits (1/2)
-
Only 3% of Emergency dept visits considered avoidable. (2/2)
-
Source?
-
"The study team defined avoidable visits as those that did not require diagnostic tests, screenings, procedures or medications." Pretty lax
-
Every one of my urgent care visits had one of those. They would have been avoidable ER visits because, well, I was able to avoid the ER.

To be expected. U may want to draw a line in the data and compare “before” and “after” claims. “Before” being prior to AMA warning to them.

Sarah, are you writing about ERs being in network but doctors not? Got $7100 bill for ER doctor (out of network even tho ER in network)
-
Why should it matter? Just because a doctor is in-network, doesn't mean s/he charges less. Insurance just conceals actual service cost
-
Even if your out of pocket is less, the cost is still paid by somebody else. We are trying reduce COST, not just ur out of pocket
-
Talking about transparency.
