Methods: Claims for eight STI tests [chlamydia, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B virus (HBV), HIV, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2), syphilis and trichomoniasis] using the most utilised current procedural terminology (CPT) code for each STI from the 2012 MarketScan outpatient table were extracted. The volume and costs by gender and place of service were then summarised. Finally, semi-log regression analyses were used to further examine and compare costs. Results: Females had a higher number of test claims than males in all places of service for each STI. Together, claims from \u2018Independent Laboratories\u2019, \u2018Office\u2019 and \u2018Outpatient hospital\u2019 accounted for over 93% of all the test claims. The cost of tests were slightly (&amp;lt;5%) different between males and females for most places of service. Except for the estimated average cost for \u2018Outpatient hospital\u2019, the estimated average costs for the other categories were significantly lower (15\u201380%, P &amp;lt; 0.01) than the estimated average cost for \u2018Emergency Room \u2013 Hospital\u2019 for all the STIs. Among the predominant service venues, test costs from \u2018Independent Laboratory\u2019 and \u2018Office\u2019 were 30% to 69% lower (P &amp;lt; 0.01) than those from \u2018Outpatient Hospital\u2019. Conclusions: Even though the results from this study are not generalisable, our study shows that almost all STI tests from outpatient claims data were performed in three service venues with considerable cost variations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh15066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,17]],"date-time":"2016-01-17T18:09:10Z","timestamp":1453054150000},"page":"131-139","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Does place of service matter?
