    The Pros And Cons Of Reimbursement Cuts

    The current staffing at my organization is facing some challenges as the government mandated reimbursement cuts continues across the board. Technological advances have reduced due to a shortage of personnel needed to provide personal contact/care with patients and their families. Because of the shortage of personnel most of us are burnout and customers can usually tell by the service they receive. The lack of energy and poor quality of care concerns me, but there isn’t much that I can do. Personally, I would hire more staff who are competent and able to work in this field that requires so much care and compassion. Each patient’s situation is unique and the right people with the right skillset would be my focus over new technology. My boss is…

    Medicare Part D

    Medicare Part D

    Medicare Part D Drug Plan was created by Congress in 2003 to aid the elderly, disabled, and sick persons in affording their medication. Coverage for the drug plan went into affect January 1, 2006. This plan was called the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Cassel, 2005). The final bill that passed, was influenced by drug-company and health insurance lobbyists and focused mainly on the needs of those industries instead of the seniors it was meant to serve (Slaughter, 2006). These plans are operated by insurance companies and some private companies that have been approved by Medicare. Part D is optional only if a person carries health insurance that includes prescription coverage. If at retirement age a person has not signed up for a Medicare drug plan they will pay a penalty for the rest of their lives for signing up at a later date. My father took four prescribed drugs in 2007. One was not covered by the plan and the other three were non-generic. In 2007 my Dad paid over $3,300.00, while ‘The Plan’ paid $1940.00. Can you imagine how much he would have paid if he took 5, 7, or 10 different prescribed medications? Due to the increased cost of prescription medication he will pay more for those three non-generic drugs in 2008. Medicare’s Part D Drug Plan was created to aid the country’s older population with the cost of prescription drugs, but instead the plan increases profits for the insurance industry. Insurance companies need to work together to develop uniform guidelines and a pricing structure that is affordable to all senior citizens.…

    Currently there is a heated debate that has been brewing between the federal government and the states over the implementation of the Medicaid expansion that is set to begin in 2014. The recent ruling of the Supreme Court gave the states freedom to opt out of implementing the expansion. The Medicaid expansion stands as an example of why the Constitutional Framework of Federalism is vital in defining boundaries that often seem blurred, between the federal government and the states.…

    Medicare and Medicaid

    With the ever-changing difficulties of our health insurance landscape, the government has taken a more active role in the health care and well-being of American citizens.

Medicare and Medicaid programs will be the focus of this analysis. The paper will explore the history behind these programs, some common fraud and abuse methods and techniques, and will finally discuss possible solutions and tactics in place to mitigate future manipulation of these programs.…

    Managed Care Payment Systems

    Individual payments for health care services received have undergone many changes over the past one hundred and fifty years in this country. For many years a fee for service system was in place. This was acceptable at the time because costs were low. However, as costs began to rise, changes in the system occurred as well. Private insurance companies started to form in the 1920s to help consumers afford medical care when needed. Through several evolutions over the years and due to increased costs of medical care, we saw new market oriented public policy initiatives starting to form by the 1980s. In 1970 health care spending represented 7% of the national income, but by 1993 it grew to 13.4% (White, 2004). Health care costs were starting to get out of hand and something needed to be done to address it. "In the public sector, important initiatives included the introduction of the Medicare Prospective Payment System, a range of state reform efforts, and the Clinton administration 's health reform initiative. At the same time, private insurers introduced changes that set in motion a fundamental restructuring of relationships in the health care market place, ultimately giving rise to managed care" (White, 2004). This paper will discuss the rationale, effectiveness, strengths, and weaknesses behind this relatively young reimbursement payment system called managed care.…

    Medicare Vs Medicaid

    In 1945, President Truman attempted to convince Congress that the United States needed to establish a national health insurance coverage plan because of his believes that there should be “health security for all, regardless of residence, station, or race everywhere in the United States’. Unfortunately Truman’s attempts to establish a national health insurance plan were initially unsuccessful, which is why nearly twenty years later on July 30th, 1965 President Johnson had Truman join him at Truman’s Presidential Library in Missouri. This was because on this day, title 18 and title 19 were added to the Social Security Act, thus establishing Medicare and Medicaid as national health insurance plans. Over the course of the next 51 years since…
