Purpose
This study will involve the evaluation of the cost profile of about 15,000 patients with different burdens of comorbidity who have at least two continuous years of enrollment in the Generations Plus/ Northern Manhattan Health Network. We will test the hypothesis that as comorbidity scores exceed three-four, patients will have an exponential increase in average yearly cost with a parallel exponential increase in cost variability.
