Abstract
“Site-of-care” payment differentials contribute to rising Medicare spending. These paymentdifferentials also fuel provider consolidation by creating an “arbitrage” opportunity to shift referrals to hospital-based outpatient departments. Research has found that site-based payment differences in Medicare incentivize consolidation between hospitals and physician practices, commonly known as vertical integration, raising health spending without necessarily improving patient outcomes
