Inpatient care for many major procedures are bundled under Medicare. This is actually the reimbursement for the entire hospitalization. Yes many places lose money in Medicare as it probably reimburses at around 80% of cost but it’s the only data we have, so it provides the closest thing to a national comparison. My point is that what this article ultimately shows is that the cross border comparison can generate striking numbers but almost all articles like this never place the Indian “cheap” numbers in context.
