Executive Summary

Oregon Hospital Payment Report:

Diagnostic Imaging and Testing

The Oregon Hospital Payment Report is an annual report that contains median payment information from

commercial insurers to hospitals for common inpatient and outpatient procedures. This fulfills the

requirement set forth in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 442.466. This sub-report of the Oregon Hospital

Payment Report contains payment information for diagnostic imaging and testing procedures only.

Diagnostic imaging and testing are procedures to collect pictures, video, or heart signals in a non-invasive

manner in order to diagnose disease. Payment information for outpatient procedures, inpatient procedures,

procedures relating to pregnancy, and radiation and chemotherapy procedures are found in separate sub-

reports.

Due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s March 2016 ruling in Gobeille v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, the

Oregon Health Authority may no longer require self-insured Employment Retirement Income Security Act

(ERISA) covered health plans to submit claims. It is estimated that Oregon's All Payer All Claims (APAC)

database has over 300,000 fewer covered lives reported from the commercial market since the Gobeille

decision. As a result, the number of procedures reported has decreased, which in turn affects whether data

can be reported.

Highlights of the diagnostic imaging and testing sub-report are:

• Most procedures show sizable variations in paid amounts. Variation is seen both within and between

hospitals.

• Nuclear medicine examinations of the cardiovascular system had the highest median paid amount in

2016 at $2,300.

• Nuclear medicine examination of the cardiovascular system also had the largest median paid amount

increase in 2016, up $173 from 2015.

• The procedure with the largest percent increase in median amount paid was electrocardiograph

stress tests, increasing by 31% from 2015.

• The weighted average change in median paid amounts for diagnostic imaging and testing was a

decrease of $12. The range of change in median paid amount was -$209 to +$173.

Diagnostic Imaging and Testing


How To Use This Report

This report presents information on the amount paid for outpatient diagnostic imaging and testing at hospitals in

Oregon. The data on these paid amounts come from submissions made to Oregon's All Payer All Claims

database (APAC) from commercial reporting entities. The range of typical paid amounts for each procedure is

included at the statewide and hospital levels, and a median amount paid is also displayed. The median is the

middle value in the range of typical paid amounts.

Range of paid amounts

The graphs included in this report contain four main points of information: the hospital name, the 2015

and 2016 median paid amounts, and the range of paid amounts. The hospital name is the name of the

hospital facility that performed the procedure. Only procedures that were performed at one of Oregon's

sixty acute care hospitals are included in this report. The 2016 median paid amount is reported next to

the hospital name, and is also represented on the graph as the large dot. The statewide median paid

amount is provided at the top of every graph. The median represents the point that divides the paid

amounts in two parts, half above and half below the median amount. This is also known the 50th

percentile. The range of paid amounts is represented in the charts as the small grey dots and the grey

line. This range excludes outliers in the data and is also known as the interquartile range. It is the range

between the lower 25th percentile and the upper 75th percentile. By removing the lower 25% of the

data and the upper 25% of the data, we remove outliers that can skew the median values. This range

represents the middle 50% of all paid amounts. The 2015 median paid amount is shown for reference

as the dark diamond. Hospitals that do not have a 2015 median paid amount mean that procedures in

that year did not qualify for reporting based on established methodology.

The median amount (large dot in the charts) is not necessarily the center point of the interquartile range

(grey line and dots). This is because paid amounts are not evenly distributed across the range. It is

common to see paid amounts clustered around certain dollar amounts resulting in the median being

pulled off center. The variance in the paid amounts within a hospital come from the different co-payment

and deductible amounts paid by patients, as well as different levels of severity in the patient's

condition. The differences in paid amount between hospitals include the above reasons, as well as each

hospital's negotiated payment rate with commercial insurance companies.

A bone study is a specialized X-ray examination of the skeleton used to determine bone density, bone age, bone

length, or other characteristics of the bone. The most common bone study procedure is the Dual Energy X-ray

Absorptiometry or DEXA scan. The DEXA scan measures bone mineral density and is used to diagnose

osteoporosis.

Electrocardiography, or ECG, is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart. In the standard ECG

test, ten electrodes are placed on a patient's chest and limbs. The rhythm of the heart beat is recorded as a graph

of the voltage the heart produces as it beats. Doctors use the graph to evaluate problems with normal rhythm of

the heart.

An ultrasound, or sonography, is a method of creating images using sound waves. A device emits sound at an

extremely high frequency and then records the sound waves as they reflect off structures in the body. A computer

interprets those sound waves and creates an image. Ultrasounds listed here do not include fetus examinations as

it relates to pregnancy, or specialized ultrasounds such as echocardiographs.

An X-ray is a method of imaging the body by exposing it to a small amount of electromagnetic radiation. Special

undeveloped film is placed behind the body part that is to be imaged. The X-ray machine then emits radiation

towards the body and film, causing the film to develop. More dense areas of the body – such as bones – absorb or

block more of the radiation, causing those areas of the film to be more underdeveloped, thus creating a detailed

image of the bones. The paid amounts listed are for X-rays of the abdominal and pelvic area.
