The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare was sign into
law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. It was created to reduce the amount individuals
and families paid in uncompensated care. The Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare 2018 Data utilizes
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement data to provide statistical information on trends at the
national, regional, and local market levels, to include hospital services, (Bronner, et al., 2021).
The Southeastern Region Analysis
I currently live in Virginia. I live in the city of Norfolk which is one of cities that make
up the Hampton Road area. This analysis is focused on the southeastern region specifically the
area of Norfolk, Virginia. Norfolk is known for its ports, Navy, and lies on the Elizabeth River
and Chesapeake Bay in the tidewater region, (Britannica, 2023). This analysis will use the
Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare 2018 Data report to pull statistics for my local area.
Price-Adjusted total Medicare reimbursement per enrollee (part A and B) by hospital
referral for 2018 (HRR) for Norfolk shows $10,290 in claims. This represents a significant
increase from the year of 2010 which was $8876 in claims. It seems Medicare expenditure in the
region increase throughout the last eight years.
Between 2010 and 2016 the Hospital and Skilled Nursing Facility Reimbursements
(SNF) per enrollee for hospital service area (HAS) report demonstrates a decline from $3,793 to
$3505 in claims. The decline can be a representation of increased service availability which
cause a reduction in the need for hospital visits and Nursing facility necessity. If we look at the
statistics for Outpatient Facility Reimbursement per enrollee by hospital referral region (HRR)
