Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive work on Medicare’s prospective payment system (PPS), which had its origins in the 1972 Social Security Amendments, was first applied to hospitals in 1983, and came to fruition with the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Here, Rick Mayes and Robert A. Berenson, M.D., explain how Medicare’s innovative payment system triggered shifts in power away from the providers (hospitals and doctors) to the payers (government insurers and employers) and how providers have responded to encroachments on their professional and financial autonomy. They conclude with a discussion of the problems with the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and offer prescriptions for how policy makers can use Medicare payment policy to drive improvements in the U.S. health care system. Mayes and Berenson draw from interviews with more than sixty-five major policy makers—including former Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, U.S. Representatives Pete Stark and Henry Waxman, former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta, and former administrators of the Health Care Financing Administration Gail Wilensky, Bruce Vladeck, Nancy-Ann DeParle, and Tom Scully—to explore how this payment system worked and its significant effects on the U.S. medical landscape in the past twenty years. They argue that, although managed care was an important agent of change in the 1990s, the private sector has not been the major health care innovator in the United States; rather, Medicare’s transition to PPS both initiated and repeatedly intensified the economic restructuring of the U.S. health care system.

This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While addressing the Medicare financing problem, Congress wrestled with rising health care costs in the private sector and the need to balance the budget. Between 1994 and 1998 Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs) emerged as a controversial policy option. This thesis examines the evolution of MSAs from their inception to legislation introducing them to the private sector and then to Medicare. Data was obtained from congressional reports, periodicals and telephone conversations with a Health Care and Finance Administration (HOFA) analyst. The thesis explains how MSAs became available as an option to Medicare beneficiaries via the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. It details the legislative history of MSAs, identifies the key players involved and explains their incentives. The primary findings were that MSAs are supported by congressional Republicans as a way to reduce Medicare costs by allowing beneficiaries to manage their own health care, financed by a fixed annual contribution from Medicare. The President and many congressional Democrats opposed them because of lost tax revenues and possible damage to the existing health care system. The critical first step to Medicare MSAs was congressional approval of tax free NSAs for small employers via a four year demonstration project in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Medicare MSAs were delayed because insurers failed to file applications to provide them in time. In 1998, MSA supporters failed in their attempt to extend the small empoyer MSA demonstration and to expand MSAs to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
