Mayo Clinic charged private insurers four times Medicare rates
Original: Mayo charged private insurance over four times more than Medicare for outpatient procedures in 2022
Mayo Clinic charged private health insurance more than four times what Medicare paid for outpatient procedures in 2022, according to a reported comparison of its pricing. The stark gap highlights how large hospital systems negotiate far higher rates from commercial insurers than public programs pay for the same services, fueling ongoing debate over hospital pricing and health care costs in the United States.
Why now: Hospital pricing disparities are a persistent source of public concern and debate over US health care costs.
