Medical Care Utilization and Associated Charges for Patients with Symptomatic HIV Disease

AIDS & Public Policy Journal 6, no. 3 (Fall 1991): 125-9
Nancy E. Moss et al.

This article reports on the use of medical-care services and related charges for patients with HIV-symptomatic disease attending six California hospital clinics. Particular attention is paid to the components of outpatient charges, since outpatient care may be especially important for HIV patients who have not progressed to AIDS, and to the relationship of outpatient to inpatient care. The focus is on patient utilization and charges at hospital-based HIV outpatient clinics, and not on patients' total use and charges.
