Vinay K. Rathi

Vinay K. Rathi studies the economics and policy of healthcare, focusing on how new medical technologies, drugs, and devices are regulated, priced, and paid for by insurers like Medicare and Medicaid. Much of the recent work examines otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) treatments, FDA approval pathways, and hospital pricing practices, using publicly available claims and regulatory data to evaluate policy reforms. This research is aimed at informing how healthcare payment systems and regulatory programs affect patient access and costs.

Publication output grew from about 9 per year in 2017 to a peak near 23 in 2020, and has remained fairly steady at roughly 14-19 papers per year through 2025.
