Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Book excerpt: If New York wishes to continue to use its highly successful and well-run program providing external review of certain health plan decisions, it must, no later than July 1, 2011, change the laws governing how that program operates to conform to new federal standards mandated under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). If the Legislature fails to give this matter priority at the end of the its current session, consumers' opportunity to have disputes over access to treatments resolved under the carefully crafted standards of New York law, by impartial decision-makers selected by the State, may be lost, and consumers may find themselves having to use an unfamiliar federal system which is yet to be developed.

Book excerpt: The Affordable Care Act requires that now, after an insurance company has denied a healthcare claim, the company must provide an opportunity for external review of the denial. Both the Department of Labor and the press have heralded this change as a boon to consumers that will ease the healthcare claims appeal process. But will the average consumer benefit from this new level of review? As a practical matter, is a further level of review -- usually available only after two internal levels of review -- the kind of reform that will make a difference to most consumers? Or is this new level of review just one more barrier, set up to thwart the consumer's efforts to be reimbursed for healthcare? This article posits that the new external review rules are an imperfect substitute for more extensive ERISA claims reform. The external review rules should be revised so that payors rather than consumers suffer the negative effects of incorrect claims decisions. That is, the rules should internalize the real costs of incorrect denials by imposing a penalty on payors when claims are reversed on external appeal. In addition, to be useful to the average consumer, external review should also be more available, understandable, and independent.

This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare beneficiaries are rapidly moving into managed care, as attempts to restrain the growth of this costly entitlement program progress. However, advocates for patients question whether the necessary information and structures are in place to enable Medicare consumers to select wisely among private-sector managed care options. Improving the Medicare Market examines how to give Medicare beneficiaries the same choice of health plan options enjoyed in the private sectorâ€"yet protect them as consumers and patients. This book recommends approaches to ensuring accountability and informed purchasing for Medicare beneficiaries in an environment of broader choice and managed careâ€"how the government should evaluate and approve plans, what role the traditional Medicare program should play, how to help to elderly understand their options, and many other practical matters. The committee discusses the information requirements of Medicare beneficiaries and explores in detail how best to respond to their special needs. And it examines the procedures that should be developed to provide the necessary protections for the elderly in a managed care system.
Download or read book New Standards for Medical Review Organizations written by Marc A. Rodwin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most states have laws that allow patients to appeal to an independent review organization when their health plan or insurer deems a service unnecessary or experimental and denies coverage. The Affordable Care Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop standards for these independent review organizations. The standards can help hold review organizations and health plans accountable for their decisions and also can facilitate the evaluation of emerging therapies and technologies as well as coverage policy. To this end, HHS should require health plans and independent review organizations to report basic information, including what medical issues and contested therapies were the subject of appeals, and the grounds for their decisions. What's more, to preclude conflicts of interest, the HHS standards should prohibit independent review organizations from participating in appeals involving health plans that have employed them for other work.
