The rates given for inpatient sector spending do not match the rates given for inpatient facility reimbursements. What is the difference between these two measures?
Sector spending includes Part B (physician) spending that occurred at each site of care; Part B payments for physician services delivered in each type of facility (acute care hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, etc.) were added to the facility payments to determine overall spending in the sector. The facility reimbursement rates do not include Part B spending for physician services.
