Definición

  • Cost shifting exists when a hospital, physician group, or other provider raises prices to one set of buyers because it has lowered prices to some other group. The term has also been applied to managed-care firms that are similarly said to have raised premiums to one set of purchasers because it had to lower premiums to some other set.
