It also contains selected ambulatory surgery utilization and charge data from general medical-surgical hospitals and freestanding ambulatory surgery centers in Wisconsin during the same quarter.
This report fulfills the statutory requirement to report "in a manner that permits comparisons among hospitals . . . the charges for up to 100 health care services or diagnostic-related groups selected by the office."
Sincerely,
Josephine W. Musser
Commissioner of Insurance
