Hannah Neprash, PhD

I am currently an associate professor at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health. I study health economics, focusing on how health care providers respond to financial and non-financial incentives. My research uses novel sources of data to examine how clinician decision-making drives utilization, spending, access, and quality in health care. I am particularly interested in research questions that will inform evidence-based policy during a time of rapid transformation in health care payment and delivery systems. I earned my PhD in Health Policy (Health Economics track) from Harvard University in 2017 and my BA in Economics from Oberlin College in 2007.

In addition to my academic career, I have experience in federal and state health policy – including time at the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), the Health Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee, and the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission.
