Geographic variability in health care usage and spending for the management of actinic keratoses has been evaluated by a new study.

‘Geographic variation in actinic keratoses spending is an opportunity to decrease waste or recoup excess spending.’

Joslyn S. Kirby of the Penn State Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pa., and coauthors, used data from a
medical claims database for their study that examined geographic
variation in health care costs and the association with patient-related
and health-related factors.
