This presentation will discuss healthcare use (e.g., emergency department visits, re-admissions, outpatient visits) and costs (e.g., claims, out of pocket spending) for infants in the 12 months following a NICU discharge. It is essential that we understand the financial aspects of care, post-NICU hospitalization, to better identify key points for interventions or policies to mitigate risks associated with healthcare expenses from NICU care.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Describe healthcare use and costs in the 12 months following NICU discharge
Describe differences in healthcare costs for infants with complex and non-complex medical issues
