| 摘要 | This study examines the impact of influenza immunization on medical expenditures for acute and chronic respiratory conditions among elderly Medicare beneficiaries between 1999 and 2003. The study advances the literature by using self-reported survey data from the fee-for-service module of the Medicare Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Survey, linked with respondents' Medicare claims for inpatient, outpatient, and professional services. The researchers found that total expenditures were lower among the immunized population during all four annual influenza seasons. The amount and statistical significance of the savings varied with the severity of the virus and the vaccine match to the prevalent influenza strains. The relative reduction in expenditures among vaccinated beneficiaries is attributable to less frequent use of inpatient services. The authors conclude that in addition to improving the health of older Americans, meeting the Healthy People 2010 influenza immunization goal of 90 percent among the elderly should also result in lower Medicare expenditures. |
