with a comparison of how these payments compare nationally. In addition, this memo presents&#13;
the estimated amount of a price cap benchmarked at 200% of final Medicare payments for a&#13;
standardized inpatient case. This memo was produced by economists at the Center for Advancing Health Policy through&#13;
Research (CAHPR) at the Brown University School of Public Health. CAHPR is a nonpartisan&#13;
center dedicated to generating research that informs policies aimed at reducing costs, improving&#13;
patient well-being, and driving meaningful transformations in U.S. health care delivery.</mods:abstract><mods:name><mods:namePart>Center for Advancing Health Policy through Research (CAHPR)</mods:namePart><mods:role><mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" authorityURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators" valueURI="http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut">Author</mods:roleTerm></mods:role></mods:name><mods:originInfo><mods:dateCreated>2025</mods:dateCreated></mods:originInfo><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>Medicare</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>Vermont</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:subject authority="local"><mods:topic>Payment Rates</mods:topic></mods:subject><mods:genre>Policy Brief</mods:genre><mods:accessCondition type="use and reproduction">All rights reserved</mods:accessCondition><mods:accessCondition type="rights statement" xlink:href="http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/">In Copyright</mods:accessCondition><mods:accessCondition type="restriction on access">All Rights Reserved</mods:accessCondition><mods:identifier type="doi">10.26300/1mzn-0s75</mods:identifier></mods:mods>
