Extreme Temperatures, Hospital Utilization and Public Health Insurance Spending by Yusun Kim, Qing Miao, Ling Zhu

“…ObjectivesThis study examines the impact of extreme temperatures on hospital utilization and public health insurance program spending in a country with no universal health coverage.MethodsUsing nationwide U.S. county-level panel data and a fixed effects model, we estimate the impact of annual variations in the number of hot and cold days on hospital utilization and medical reimbursements for low-income and elderly beneficiaries of public health insurance.ResultsOur results show that extreme heat and mild cold increase medical reimbursements to low-income beneficiaries, while extreme cold increases benefit transfer to the elderly. …”
