Overview:

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the main causes for costs for diabetic outpatients in Medicare. The data sets of outpatient revenue and beneficiary summary used in this study are provided by the Chronic Condition Data Warehouse (CCW) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. This paper used Summary Statistics, One-Way Frequency, the General Linear Model, the Generalized Linear Model and Kernel Density Estimation. The paper utilized Filter and Query as well as Random Sampling to preprocess the dataset. The paper examined patient diagnosis information. The results of Summary Statistics show that the total charges are reduced considerably for payment. Kernel Density Estimation shows that for both male outpatients and female outpatients, the distributions of total charges follow a Gamma distribution.
