Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medicare program pays for certain health care services for adults age 65 and older and for younger individuals with certain disabilities. The program pays a portion of costs for the inpatient and outpatient health care services beneficiaries receive, as well as prescription drugs. While Medicare is a vital program that helps older adults pay for needed health care services, it typically requires significant cost sharing from beneficiaries. This report assesses the out-of-pocket (OOP) spending burden on Medicare beneficiaries, using data from the most recent Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS), the 2007 Cost and Use File.

Download or read book Medicare Advantage Higher Spending Relative to Medicare Fee for Service May Not Ensure Lower Out of Pocket Costs for Beneficiaries written by James Cosgrove and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although private health plans were originally envisioned in the 1980s as a potential source of Medicare savings, such plans have generally increased program spending. In 2006, Medicare paid $59 billion to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans -- an estimated $7.1 billion more than Medicare would have spent if MA beneficiaries had received care in Medicare fee-for-service (FFS). MA plans receive a per member per month payment to provide services covered under Medicare FFS. For this testimony, the author examined MA plans¿: (1) projected allocation of rebates; (2) projected cost sharing; and (3) projected revenues and expenses. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Hidden Costs Value Lost written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Cost, Value Lost, the fifth of a series of six books on the consequences of uninsurance in the United States, illustrates some of the economic and social losses to the country of maintaining so many people without health insurance. The book explores the potential economic and societal benefits that could be realized if everyone had health insurance on a continuous basis, as people over age 65 currently do with Medicare. Hidden Costs, Value Lost concludes that the estimated benefits across society in health years of life gained by providing the uninsured with the kind and amount of health services that the insured use, are likely greater than the additional social costs of doing so. The potential economic value to be gained in better health outcomes from uninterrupted coverage for all Americans is estimated to be between $65 and $130 billion each year.

This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Medicare provides coverage for the cost of many health care services. At the same time, because some services are not covered by Medicare, and because of cost-sharing such as copayments and deductibles, beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare FFS may have significant out-of-pocket expenditures. Most Medicare beneficiaries have some form of additional health care coverage- referred to as supplemental coverage-to help them pay for these costs. For example, Medicare FFS beneficiaries may have supplemental coverage from private insurance companies, called Medigap, or that they receive as retirees through a former employer, referred to as employer-sponsored coverage. This supplemental coverage may reduce any incentive that out-of-pocket costs creates for beneficiaries to be more cost-conscious in their use of services. GAO was asked to provide information about how Medicare beneficiaries with supplemental coverage compare to Medicare beneficiaries without supplemental coverage with respect to total health care costs and the sources of payment for those costs. In this report, GAO compares average total health care expenditures and sources of payment for Medicare FFS beneficiaries with and without supplemental coverage. GAO analyzed data from the 2010 MCBS, the most recent MCBS data available at the time we conducted our analysis. GAO also reviewed original research studies published since 2008 to understand"
