Altarum’s monthly Health Sector Economic Indicators (HSEI) spending series tracks US health care spending and its components on a monthly basis using data released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and other sources to reflect as closely as possible the categories and spending totals published annually by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA). While the NHEA provide the best final record of US heath spending, they are only published annually and typically with a lag of about a year. Therefore, the HSEI spending data can be used to provide more timely and monthly estimates to assess very recent health-sector trends, such as a review of COVID-19 impacts published in 2020.
