National Trends in Post-Acute Care Costs Following Total Hip Arthroplasty from 2010 through 2018.

Over the last decade, the rate of home discharge after THA increased while rehospitalization and ED visit rates declined, resulting in a substantial decrease in total and post-acute care costs. Post-acute care costs declined most rapidly after the introduction of the new Medicare bundled payment programs in 2013 and 2016.
