There have been few national studies of financing for AIDS care. Before public policy makers can plan for both short- and long-term health care financing for AIDS , they must know more about the distribution of AIDS patients across payors and providers. Also, they need to understand how payor, provider, and patient characteristics affect the use of hospital resources by AIDS patients. This study examines these issues, as well as the relationships between payor mix, provider mix, and patient characteristics, including severity of illness, for nearly 6,000 AIDS discharges from Greater New York hospitals.
