AB  - The purpose of this study was to describe private insurance reimbursements for 
      newborn hearing screening (NBHS) in the United States. Data from the MarketScan(R) 
      Commercial Databases were used to estimate itemized reimbursements for privately 
      insured infants born between January 1, 2013-December 31, 2014. Estimates were 
      based on billed claims for hearing screening services during infancy among 
      456,407 infants with birth hospitalization claims (71,820 infants with inpatient 
      NBHS and 1,104 infants with outpatient NBHS). The median reimbursement for NBHS 
      was almost three times greater when performed in an inpatient setting than 
      outpatient setting. Median reimbursement for NBHS performed in a hospital and 
      billed as inpatient service was $148.00 (interquartile range [IQR] 
      $99.52-$210.00) and $57.53 (IQR $34.40-$120.91) when billed as an outpatient 
      service. The mean reimbursement for NBHS performed in an outpatient hospital 
      setting was $136.48 (IQR $86.08-$220.15) and $41.60 (IQR $28.15-$57.52) for NBHS 
      billed in conjunction with an office visit (e.g., performed in an audiology 
      clinic, an audiologist's office, or physician's office during a routine 
      check-up). No NBHS claims were filed for 84.3% of infants (384,587‬/456,407), as 
      NBHS is generally included as a covered service bundled along with delivery and 
      newborn care.
