The study, "Falling Behind: Medicare Hospital Payment Policy in New York," says hospitals' costs for providing services have risen 43.2 percent in the past decade while Medicare hospital rates have increased 15.4 percent.
The association's report said as reimbursement rates to providers have lagged, payments to insurance companies have grown. In the past decade, New York Medicare Advantage managed care plans' rates have increased 62.6 percent.
