Who Will Pay for COVID-19 Hospital Care: Looking at Payers Across States

The cost of hospital care provided to patients with COVID-19 will be substantial. Based on current epidemiological forecasts, our estimates suggest that by October 31, 2020, the U.S. will spend approximately $24 billion on inpatient COVID-19 care, amounting to 0.6 percent of projected 2019 national health outlays.
Spending will vary by state because of the intensity of disease spread and state policy decisions. Using a new tool that allows for comparisons across states and over time, this blog post looks at costs of inpatient COVID-19 care (measured at expected reimbursement rates) and who pays them — Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance — across the country as a whole and in four states: California, New York, Florida, and Texas.
These estimates depend critically on the changing geographic and demographic distribution of the virus; to address this, our tool is regularly updated with new epidemiological projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).

COVID-19, particularly in the first wave of the pandemic, had disproportionate impacts on low-income and elderly groups, which are primarily covered by public insurance. Our findings suggest that because public insurance payment rates are much lower than private payer rates, hospitals that bore the brunt of the initial COVID-19 surge are likely to have received lower reimbursements than those serving younger and more affluent populations.
The brunt of the first wave of the pandemic fell on New York. Through the end of May, New York State incurred inpatient costs of $2.7 billion, while other states spent much less — only 10 percent as much in Florida and 20 percent in California. Since May, however, caseloads have increased substantially outside New York. Looking at both outbreaks, through October 31, total spending on COVID-19 inpatient care is likely to range from $1.9 billion in Texas to about $2.1 billion each in California and Florida and $2.9 billion in New York.
