Higher inpatient utilization with sitagliptin might have contributed to higher medical charges and higher overall charges.
The noninfluenza group tended to have higher overall charges, including significantly higher cost of blood products in the ICU.
ICU and total hospital charges reflected a trend toward higher overall charges for room and board, blood products, pharmacy, and overall charge per patient in the noninfluenza group.
2, 4, 5 Patients who sustain fall-related injuries are reported to have higher overall hospital charges than similar matched patients who did not fall during their hospitalization.
The quenching constants are higher at lower pH (5.5) due to the higher overall surface charge of the protein, which is in accordance with previous results.
By one estimate, under its current reimbursement system, Medicare is paying in excess of a billion dollars a year more for the same services because hospitals, citing higher overall costs, can charge more when the doctors work for them.
In a market-driven situation, fees could vary in a number of ways: airlines that operate the most during busy times could be charged higher overall fees, or airlines could be charged different fees for using more or less congested time slots.
However, AMD3100 lacks oral bioavailability due to its high overall positive charge.
Proteolysis-inducing factor can be recovered from the digest by binding to DEAE cellulose, as the molecule has a high overall negative charge, but enzyme assays showed co-purification with the pronase, which would preclude further purification by affinity chromatography.
To avoid further complication of the (already complex) spectra by charging effects, a catalyst with a higher overall metal loading of 50 wt% was utilized after carefully checking the comparability of this material to the respective 5 wt% sample.
Tenet's practice of increasing drug prices is "a principal driver in their overall charges," the list prices that resulted in the higher Medicare payments, said Don DeMoro, the executive director of the Institute for Health and Socio-Economic Policy, the group that conducted the study.
