Insuranceopedia Explains Admissions/1,000
Hospital admissions are incredibly costly, and they are a major expense for health insurance companies, with the cost of many hospital admissions reaching five figures. Because of this, it is crucial for health insurers to understand how many of the people they are providing coverage to will likely be admitted to the hospital over a certain period of time. If too many people are being admitted to hospitals, it can be a threat to their profits.
