This study utilized physician and hospital charge data from 2008–2009 to estimate the direct medical costs associated with pelvic inflammatory disease cases in adolescents. The analysis determined that the average total charge per episode was $3,025, with a standard deviation of $4,155. Additionally, the researchers found that patients treated in ambulatory settings incurred charges that were $7,440 lower on average compared to those admitted to inpatient units. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

We used 2008-2009 physician and hospital charges to estimate the direct cost of medical care per case of pelvic inflammatory disease. The estimated average total charge per episode was $3,025 (SD: $4155). The estimated average charge for patients treated in ambulatory (outpatient clinic and emergency department) settings was $7440 lower than for those treated on inpatient units.
