While the effect of the MSSP on primary care has been extensively analyzed, little is known about the effect of the MSSP on cost and quality of surgical care, in particular the use of high-cost robotic surgical modalities. Hospitals routinely market robotic procedures as an indicator of high quality, despite limited evidence of their clinical value. This study examines the relationship between hospital participation in the MSSP and use of robotic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We conducted a retrospective analysis using 2016\u20132019 publicly available data on hospital MSSP participation and use of robotic-assisted procedures in New York State. Using bivariate and multivariate approaches, we identified hospital characteristics associated with the use of robotic technique and hospital quality.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Of the 157 general hospitals in NYS, 83 (53%) offered robotic surgery and 73 (47%) participated in the MSSP. MSSP-affiliated hospitals were more selective in the type of robotic procedures than non-MSSP hospitals, favoring procedures with stronger evidence-base such as prostatectomies. Hospitals that performed robotic surgery selectively had significantly lower spending per patient (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04). Higher volume of robotic procedures correlated with higher hospital ranking.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>MSSP participation is associated with more selective use of robotic procedures and lower hospital spending.
