Dexur’s analysis of medicare claims of hospitals within a 50-mile radius of Cadillac, Michigan, showed that Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital had the best value outcomes over a 90 day episode for Hip & Knee replacement, followed by Munson Medical Center and Munson Healthcare Grayling Hospital. Dexur’s value analysis tracks a patient’s episode of care from the date of admission for 90 days and includes the index hospitalizations, rehospitalization, home health, nursing home, and ED costs. Total cost of care data helps patients make appropriate choices and helps local ACOs, such as Trillium Health, LLC, make appropriate referral choices. The analysis was risk-adjusted, for alive and non-hospice patients and was done at the DRG level, specifically DRG 470: Major Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without Major Complication or Comorbidity (MCC), to adjust for complications and comorbidities.

Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital’s total cost of care over a 90 day episode was $18,746 (for the period between July 2016 and June 2019).
