Also known as Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB)
Spending Breakdowns by Claim Type
The data displayed here describes average spending levels during hospitals’
Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB) episodes. An MSPB episode includes all
Medicare Part A and Part B claims paid during the period from 3 days prior to a
hospital admission through 30 days after discharge.
The table below divides each hospital’s average episode spending levels into
three time periods: during the 3 days prior to the index admission, during the index
admission, and during the 30 days after hospital discharge. Within these three time
periods, the average episode spending levels are further broken down into seven provider
types (e.g., inpatient, outpatient).
