Hospitalized snowbirds had stays that were similar to those of in-state beneficiaries in terms of case-mix and intensity. However, snowbirds had much less intense hospitalizations than beneficiaries from adjacent states who often required technology-intensive surgery.
住院的“雪鸟”（指季节性迁徙到温暖地区的老人）在病例组合和治疗强度方面的住院情况与本州受益人类似。然而，“雪鸟”的住院治疗强度远低于来自相邻州的受益人，后者往往需要技术密集型手术。
