Putting Chargemaster Back Together Again
April 5th-6th 2022
The Chargemaster is a hospital’s secret book of rates that is used to bill both insured and uninsured patients. Over the decades, these rates have become artificially inflated, which greatly impact the rise of healthcare costs in the USA. Using data science, we were able to reconstruct the book of Chargemaster rates in real-time, to understand if, when, and how much rates were increased for various medical procedures.
