    Physicians often lack awareness of the costs associated with medical care, contributing to rising healthcare expenses. Enhanced cost education for medical professionals is crucial to address this significant problem.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Economics
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Rising medical care costs present a major challenge for American physicians.
    • Physicians' role in escalating healthcare costs is significant, yet often underestimated.
    • Studies indicate physicians may be unaware of the economic impact of their treatment decisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the knowledge of frequently ordered hospital billing items among medical trainees and faculty.
    • To identify gaps in cost awareness within the medical community.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
    • Respondents included 70 medical students, 316 interns and residents, and 41 faculty members.
    • The survey focused on knowledge of common hospital billing charges.

    Main Results:

    • A widespread lack of knowledge regarding hospital billing items was observed across all surveyed groups.
    • Faculty members demonstrated a similar level of unawareness as medical students.
    • No significant difference in cost knowledge was found between different levels of medical training.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician cost awareness is critically low, impacting healthcare expenditures.
    • Targeted educational interventions focusing on healthcare costs are essential for physicians.
    • Improving cost education is vital for mitigating the increase in medical care expenses.
