Revenues, costs, and contribution margins of major inpatient cardiovascular procedures within the Medicare population
Authors' conclusion
We found that revenues, costs, and CMs vary widely across major inpatient cardiovascular procedures and that rapidly proliferating cardiovascular procedures contribute sizeable net CMs to US hospitals.
