Indiana hospital prices for outpatient care 'shockingly high,' Rand report says

A new Rand Corporation report finds the price Indiana hospitals charge for outpatient services “shockingly high,” more than three times what they charge Medicare for the same procedures. The report, the first to pinpoint how much individual hospitals in this state charge employers who provide insurance to their employees for medical services, also found a wide variation in price for both outpatient and inpatient procedures from hospital to hospital.
