EHCdata shares impact of OB services on hospital subsidy

January 15, 2019

EHCdata is Enhance Healthcare Consulting’s growing database of over 100 hospitals and anesthesia practices. This database provides real-time impactful information on anesthesia services across the United States, including information on hospital subsidies, provider compensation and more.

Multiple variables impact anesthesia subsidy calculations including types of subspecialty coverage required at the hospital. For example, EHCdata looked at the impact of obstetrics (OB) on subsidy. The date show that those facilities requiring OB coverage have slightly over a 10% increase in average subsidy per anesthetizing location. This highlights only one variable and is meant to point out the importance of anesthesia groups and hospitals understanding the impact of service requirements on subsidies during contract negotiations. With a clearer understanding of the factors that contribute to a hospital subsidy, better informed negotiations can be conducted between hospitals and groups.
