Payer type and low-value care: comparing Choosing Wisely services across commercial and Medicare populations.
This study compared low-value health service use among commercially insured and Medicare populations and explored the influence of payer type on the provision of low-value care. In measuring use of seven Choosing Wisely-identified low-value services, it concluded that low-value care appears driven by factors unrelated to payer type or anticipated reimbursement.
