Dear John,

Join Health Affairs on June 17 for an exclusive Insider virtual event breaking down risk adjustment trends and potential reform with J. Michael McWilliams.

Join Insider today to get access to this event, our new trend report on AI in health care, and exclusive monthly newsletters.

Medicare pays hospital outpatient departments higher rates than physician-owned practices, leading to higher spending and incentivizing hospitals to acquire physician practices.

In an ahead-of-print article published this week, Brady Post of Northeastern University and coauthors evaluate the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 that introduced site-neutral payments for new outpatient departments.

To learn even more about site-neutral payments, check out an Insider exclusive virtual event featuring author Brady Post.

For our first Insider trend report, we explore the ways that artificial intelligence could impact the health care landscape.

The report highlights:

• How is AI being used in health care?
• What does the current policy and regulation landscape look like?
• What might the future state of policy and regulation look like?
