In this paper, we explore the importance of shifts in treatments
for explaining increases in the cost of health care services. Using
a large database of health insurance claims for sample patients, we
find that there have been shifts in treatment intensity that have
an important effect on costs and that, on average, those treatment
shifts served to lower the cost of treating disease. These costs
savings appear to be numerically important and pervasive. Our
results lend support to earlier work that found these effects for a
set of important conditions: heart attacks, cataract, and
depression.
