Supplementary notes

Note: Estimates are two-year sums based on information from 2016 and 2017 that have been adjusted for inflation to 2017 dollars; these expenses indicate hospital expenditures for providing fees, not payer costs. These expenses do not include nonfacility expenses, such as professional fees, or expenses for treatment at non community hospitals, including federal facilities managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or the Indian Health Service.
Due to the tiny sample numbers, "Other" was created to include Native Americans, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and other groups.
