This book was released on with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As individuals, we face the challenge of making numerous decisions every day. Although some of them are made consciously, the majority are made unconsciously and automatically (Pöppel, 2007, p. 22). Especially in the insurance sector, which is one of the more complex fields of decisionmaking, these decisions have far-reaching significance. The discussion of risk protection and individual insurance demand is gaining in importance, especially against the backdrop of climate change, cyber-attacks and global health crises such as the COVID 19 pandemic. The literature research in the context of these interests revealed that studies and surveys in Germany, Europe, as well as in North America repeatedly identify structural insurance gaps and a tendency towards underinsurance. This reveals systematic deviations from economically appropriate insurance coverage. There is even talk of “misinsurance” due to incorrect risk perception, assessment, and evaluation on the part of the policyholders. From a behavioural economics perspective, these patterns can be attributed to heuristics and cognitive biases that influence the decision-making of the insured (European Commission, 2017; GDV, 2020; GoslarInstitut, 2016, Kunreuther et al., 2013, Richter et al., 2019). Based on these findings, the commercial insurance coverage of doctors in private practice was evaluated and the demand for insurance was investigated. Officed- based doctors in Germany are central actors in the health care system and so far, there is no specific study on their coverage behaviour. The aim of the thesis was therefore to examine the officed- based doctors’ behaviours towards professional safe-guarding risks. With a further objective to investigate the use of heuristics and identify factors indicating deviations from economically adequate insurance coverage, to better understand manifested decision-making behaviour.

Download or read book Decision making and Disability Living Allowance written by Northern Ireland Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-06-16 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines how the Social Security Agency (Northern Ireland) applies the complex rules which affect eligibility for Disability Living Allowance (DLA). Despite progress since 1998 in reducing the volume of DLA claims held by the Agency and improved accuracy, there is still scope for further improvement. The speed of decisions has been adversely affected by several factors. There should be improvements in the training of frontline staff, and further improvements in information technology solutions. Fewer cases should be referred to the Agency's Medical Support Services. The identification of errors in decision-making by the Agency has improved, for example, through the use of the Periodic Enquiry process. There has been a significant increase in the number of appeals by claimants, since the decision-making procedures were changed in October 1999. Decision-makers should make more use of personal communication with claimants to collect initial or follow-up evidence, and this is especially important as DLA applicants are unlikely to have a detailed grasp of the disability eligibility rules. If the Agency aimed for a 10 per cent reduction in DLA / Attendance Allowance appeals the saving would be in excess of £190,000 per year.

Download or read book The Healthcare Value Chain written by Lawton Robert Burns and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in order to better understand the significant roles that these entities play in the healthcare supply chain. It examines who they contract with, on what terms, and who they represent and answer to while charting their historical development. The analysis reveals that the current roles of both players have historical roots that explain why they behave the way they do. Finally, the book reviews the evidence base on the performance results of these two players. This work fills a void in our understanding about two important and controversial players in the healthcare value chain. Both organizations are cloaked in secrecy — partly by virtue of the private sector contracts they negotiate, partly by virtue of the lack of academic attention. Both play potentially important roles in controlling healthcare costs, albeit using contracting strategies and reimbursement mechanisms that arouse suspicion among stakeholders. This timely text explicates how these organizations arose and evolved to shed more light on how they really operate.
