This study examines differences in the average number of |
|
encounters and amount of RVUs between patients that |
|
utilize acupuncture as part of their treatment regime and |
|
those who do not. This study replicates a study by |
|
Jaditz, Edwards, and Morrow (2007), with differences in |
|
methodology. Subjects are from Military Health System |
|
Management Analysis and Reporting Tool (M2) and consist |
|
of all beneficiary categories with a diagnosis of |
|
Lumbago, Myalgia, and/or Cervicalgia, treated at Naval |
|
Medical Center San Diego, California; Malcolm Grow |
|
Medical Center at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland; and |
|
Madigan Army Medical Center in Fort Lewis, Washington, in |
|
fiscal year 2008. A two-factor ANOVA revealed significant |
|
differences between acupuncture patients and two non- |
|
acupuncture groups, as well as differences between |
|
diagnoses. Post hoc analysis indicated that acupuncture |
|
patients had statistically higher average number of |
|
encounters and amount of RVUs than both groups of non- |
|
acupuncture patients (p 0.05). |
