1/ #Research Monday - highlighting Burden of #Parkinson's Disease by Severity: Health Care Costs in the U.S. Medicare Population https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/mds.28265#.X_O2nAapabs.twitter
2/ An investigation by Nabila Dahodwala & colleagues @PennNeurology highlighting cost of care in a calendar yr for the approx 144,000 people with #Parkinsons who are Medicare beneficiaries
3/ Some interesting observations, the average Medicare cost for claims during 2013 was ~$23,000 per person w/ large variation, and ~1/3 of people w/ #Parkinsons had not seen a neurologist in a yr
4/ Growth of aging population plus possible increasing incidence of #Parkinsons means its impact will continue to be an area to be watched and care innovations will be welcomed @APDAParkinsons @parkinsonsMA @ParkinsonDotOrg @endingpdbook @CureParkinsonsT @The_BMC
