Book excerpt: People buy insurance to protect themselves against the possibility of financial loss in the future. Individuals and families without health coverage are more likely than those with coverage to forgo needed health care, which often leads to worse health outcomes and the need for expensive medical treatment. Since uninsured persons are more likely to be poorer than insured persons, the uninsured are less able to afford the health care they need. This book presents important materials on health insurance reform, as well as relevant laws, high risk pools, coverage for seniors, the uninsured and the roles of the government and industry in the health insurance puzzle.

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.

Book excerpt: Healthcare is complex, and occupies a critically important space in American political, social, and financial conversations. There is no other sector poised to be of more consequence and significance than healthcare, especially in light of the recent viral pandemic and the political center-stage accorded to healthcare delivery and access.As a physician and informatician, having worked in healthcare for more than two decades and served as Vice President and Chief Analytics Officer in health insurance and health information technology firms, I have been astounded by the lack of understanding of this sector. I put it down to the fact that healthcare is broad and its segments are isolated from each other in terms of the knowledge of their functioning.To address this, I created a first-of-its-kind resource for anyone wanting to get an overview of the US healthcare system in less than a day while reading fewer than 100 pages. This book's unique ability to connect diverse points in the system will allow the reader to understand all perspectives in this domain.After reading this book, you will be able to answer questions like:- Why can't I get an estimate at the physician's office and the hospital about what my visit and treatments will cost?- What are healthcare data and analytics?- How do I make sense of my medical bills and the Explanation of Benefits documents?- How does a physician treat patients?- How do physicians, hospitals, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and pharmacies make money?- What are generics and biosimilars?- What is a PBM?Topics covered include:- Healthcare Systems and Providers- Health Insurance and Payers- The Life Science Industry including Pharmaceutical Companies- Medical Billing and Payment, Healthcare Data and Analytics- The Government Role in US Healthcare

Download or read book Introduction to U S Health Policy written by Donald A. Barr and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care reform has dominated public discourse over the past several years, and the recent passage of the Affordable Care Act, rather than quell the rhetoric, has sparked even more debate. Donald A. Barr reviews the current structure of the American health care system, describing the historical and political contexts in which it developed and the core policy issues that continue to confront us today. This comprehensive analysis introduces the various organizations and institutions that make the U.S. health care system work—or fail to work, as the case may be. A principal message of the book is the seeming paradox of the quality of health care in this country—on the one hand it is the best medical care system in the world, on the other it is one of the worst among developed countries because of how it is organized. Barr introduces readers to broad cultural issues surrounding health care policy, such as access, affordability, and quality. He discusses specific elements of U.S. health care, including insurance, especially Medicare and Medicaid, the shift to for-profit managed care, the pharmaceutical industry, issues of long-term care, the plight of the uninsured, medical errors, and nursing shortages. The latest edition of this widely adopted text updates the description and discussion of key sectors of America’s health care system in light of the Affordable Care Act.
