Hospitals in the United States faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and those challenges have left them floundering in the face of increased costs and workforce shortages.
Even though SSDI and SSI are both federal programs, where you live impacts your chances of approval because application reviews and appeals are handled at state or local levels.
With financial pressures expected to increase for nonprofit hospitals, these are the states seeing the highest expenses per inpatient day, including all operating and non-operating expenses incurred for both inpatient and outpatient care.
With cancer continuing to be a top driver of high-cost claims, it's no surprise that cancer drugs make up over half of Sun Life's top 20 high-cost injectable drugs for 2022.
