From the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Service, Department of Surgery.
Article Synopsis
- High-deductible health plans (HDHPs) can lead to higher out-of-pocket costs, potentially causing financial strain, but their impact on mastectomy and breast reconstruction usage was investigated.
- The study examined data from 2014 to 2017, comparing rates and costs of surgeries between patients on HDHPs and low-deductible health plans (LDHPs), finding no significant difference in overall surgery rates but notable seasonality in procedure usage.
- Patients with HDHPs faced significantly higher out-of-pocket expenses than those with LDHPs, highlighting the need for awareness and support regarding the financial challenges posed by these health plans.
