Renuka Diwan is a PhD candidate in Economics at Boston University. Her research focuses on how regulation and payment policy affect competition, firm behavior, and fraud in Medicare and other healthcare markets.
In new research, Renuka Diwan, Paul Eliason, Riley League, Ryan C. McDevitt, James W. Roberts, and Jetson Leder-Luis investigate how Medicare’s shift to a competitive bidding system to reduce prices has inadvertently shifted market share to fraudulent suppliers.
