14-15 assumed that per-. person costs will increase at the same rate as overall medical expenditures between 2010. and 2020: an average annual rate of 3.6%. ï§ Finally, we aggregated cost estimates across sex and age cells for each state to obtain. total medical cost projections for each disease by state through 2020.verage payer costs per person with the disease attributable to the disease. These numbers represent the extent to which payer expenditures per person with the disease would be lower in the absence of the disease, all else constant.
