Lynchburg, VA (prHWY.com) October 13, 2012 - Lynchburg, Virginia - A new report from the Health Care Cost Institute revealed that per capita health care spending on those under age 65 with employer sponsored health insurance, including insurance in Virginia, increased 4.6% to $4,547 in 2011. The 2011 increase falls below the 5.8% increase in 2009, but is slightly more than the rise of 3.8% in 2010.

Inpatient per capita spending increased 4.8% to $963 in 2011, while outpatient care spending rose 6.8% to $1,245. The rate of growth for inpatient spending was higher in 2011 than in 2010, while the rate of outpatient spending dropped from 2010 to 2011.

Premium costs were not included in the report, which attributed most of the jump in per capita spending growth to price increases for care. Out-of-pocket spending for patients rose 4.6% to $735, while the number of people with employer sponsored insurance in Virginia fell 0.3% to 156 million.
