WASHINGTON - Marylanders continue to spend more on prescription drugs compared to their national counterparts, despite the state's lower overall health care spending, according to an analysis of state and national health care expenditure data.
Each Marylander spent about $1,000 for prescription drugs in 2007, 33 percent more than the national average of about $750. The state's per capita spending on health care was about $6,400, 14 percent lower than the national average of about $7,500.

This study provides estimates of the economic cost of intimate partner violence perpetrated against women in the US, including expenditures for medical care and mental health services, and lost productivity from injury and premature death. The analysis uses national survey data, including the National Violence Against Women Survey and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, to estimate costs for 1995.

Updated to 2003 dollars, costs would total over $8.3 ...

Based on the analyses it has been suggested that the countries should formulate and implement appropriate social sector policies and programs to increase physicians' availability, and reduce adult...

This proposed rule would implement section 1104 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (hereinafter referred to as the Affordable Care Act) by establishing new requirements for administrative transactions that would improve the utility of the existing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) transactions and reduce administrative burden and costs. It proposes the adoption of the standard for a national unique health plan identifier (HPID) and requirements or provisions for the implementation of the HPID. This rule also proposes the adoption of a data element that will serve as an other entity identifier (OEID), an identifier for entities that are not health plans, health care providers, or ``individuals,'' that need to be identified in standard tran...
