In health care, health care costs are "the actual costs of providing services related to the delivery of health care, including the costs of procedures, therapies, and medications. It is differentiated from health expenditures, which refers to the amount of money paid for the services, and from fees, which refers to the amount charged, regardless of cost."[1]

Sources of variation[edit]

In the United States of America, the regional variation in health care costs is about 33%[2].
