New Research Challenges Assumptions About Hospital-Physician Integration, Medicare Patient Mix

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Brady Post, PhD, lead author of a study published in the April 2025 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care®, challenges the claim that hospital-employed physicians serve a more complex patient mix.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Brady Post, PhD, assistant professor at Northeastern University and lead author of a study published in this month's issue.

His study, "Impact of Hospital-Physician Integration on Medicare Patient Mix," found no evidence that hospital-employed physicians treated a higher proportion of complex patients, at least among those enrolled in traditional Medicare.

During the conversation, Post shares the inspiration behind his research, key findings, and areas for further investigation.
