AMOUNT:
$49,174.00
Summary of the Project:
The acquisition of physician practices by private equity (PE) firms has grown rapidly, yet little is known about the effects on providers in the same market that do not get acquired. This research will use Medicare claims data to examine the impact of PE acquisitions on patient access, with a focus on complex surgical cases in ophthalmology. The findings will explore the aggregate effects of PE in health care and inform policy.
