Wesport, CT (prHWY.com) October 11, 2012 - Fairfield, Connecticut - Patients benefitted from 10.4% lower total health care related expenditures when they had regular access to health care services including extended office hours, according to data obtained for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Researchers surveyed 30,714 patients, reviewing data over the course of two consecutive years for each participant. Patients were divided into two groups: those who did have access to extended office hours and those who did not. Researchers compared health expenditures, including Connecticut health insurance, for year 2 for both groups.

Researchers concluded that the decrease in health care spending may have been due in part to significantly lower emergency department use. It was also noted that health care providers who work in practices that offer extended hours may be more likely to provide cost-conscious care overall. Budget friendly tactics mentioned in the findings included less expensive medications and less instances of discretionary testing during office appointments.

Insuring CT can help reduce health care spending further through the broad range of Connecticut health insurance the established agency offers consumers. Insurance shoppers can select the Connecticut health insurance plan that is most suitable for their budget and medical needs.
