Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives the reader a look at the complicated U.S. health care system through the eyes of a consumer. It explores two key questions: Why, with all of the resources that have been devoted to solving the health care crisis, does the situation continue to deteriorate? And, what, exactly, could be done differently this time to turn the situation around? The author examines obstacles that have stood in the way of health care reform in the past - including politics, government red tape, profit-driven providers, moneyed lobbyists and special interest groups and even, our own consumer "entitlement mentality" - and challenges the reader to envision a scenario in which innovation in health care might be possible. The author argues that consumers are the key to forward progress on health care: we'll only see consumer-driven solutions when enough people demand them. This book is a challenge to consumers to speak up and hold our leaders in the medical community, the government and corporate America accountable for developing solutions that work for us. Susan M. Finley is a small business owner and marketing strategist. She began her career as a bank product manager, and in 1994 co-founded Michaelson Kelbick Partners Inc. (MKP), a firm specializing in marketing and communications for the financial services industry. Over the course of a decade, the agency managed marketing communications for some of the largest bank mergers in recent history. In 2003, she left MKP (now renamed mkp communications, inc.). Her knowledge and understanding of the complicated U.S. health care financing system comes from a three-year research and consulting project, started in the hopes of serving as a catalyst for consumer-driven changes in health care. She lives in North Carolina, where she and her husband have recently founded Finley and Finley, LLC, to continue their research on potential avenues for innovation in the health care and financial services industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost has deterred the majority of small businesses from providing health insurance to their workers. Consumer-directed health plans, which are potentially less costly than traditional health plans, may be well suited to workers in small businesses. The authors study the factors that are associated with CDHP offering, determine the variation in CDHP offering among large and small firms, and develop models of persistence in CDHP offering. Their analysis of the Kaiser-HRET survey shows that small firms have been no quicker in their uptake of CDHPs than larger firms, and appear to display somewhat more churning in CDHP offering than large firms. Small firms that employ between three and 49 workers are less likely to offer HRA/HSA plans than large firms. Furthermore, firms that employ 200 to 499 workers appear to be less likely to offer both HRA/HSA plans and HD plans compared to larger firms. Their results suggest a limited role for the current incarnation of consumer-directed health plans in encouraging small business to provide insurance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Consumer-directed health plans (CDHP) combine a high-deductible health plan with a tax-advantaged account, such as a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), that enrollees can use to pay for health care expenses. In an effort to restrain cost growth, several employers, including the federal government through its Office of Personnel Management (OPM), have offered HRAs for several years.For enrollees in HRAs compared with those in traditional plans such as preferred provider organization (PPO) plans, GAO assessed (1) differences in health status, and (2) changes in spending and utilization of health care services. GAO analyzed data from two large employers-one public and one private-that introduced an HRA option in 2003. GAO compared changes in health spending and utilization before and after 2003 for enrollees who switched from a PPO into an HRA (the HRA group) with those who stayed in a PPO (the PPO group). At the time GAO made its data requests to each employer, 2007 data from the public employer and 2005 data from the private employer were the most current and complete data available. GAO also reviewed published studies that included an assessment of the health status, spending, or utilization of HRA and other CDHP enrollees compared..."

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.

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: The U.S. health care system is unique among advanced industrialized countries. The U.S. does not have a uniform health system, has no universal health care coverage, and only recently enacted legislation mandating healthcare coverage for almost everyone. The primary source writings in this anthology have been selected to provide your readers with a broad spectrum of viewpoints on the current state of health care in America. These essays offer leading conservative, centrist, and liberal opinions on issues such as health care affordability and Medicare reform. Students are encouraged to see the validity of divergent opinions, so that they may understand topics inclusively. An important question about the topic is presented in each chapter, such as Would a public health insurance option be beneficial? and the viewpoints that follow are organized based on their response to the question.

Download or read book Factors for Selecting a Consumer Directed Health Care Plan written by David William Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and Health Savings Account (HSA) eligible High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) emerged as a new health care insurance models referred to as Consumer Directed Health Plans (CDHPs) in the early 2000s. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between enrollees' prior financial experiences as they relate to health care access and use with plan choice when a Managed Care Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), HRA, and HSA eligible HDHP are offered concurrently in an ESI program. It is important to examine new health insurance structures, such as CDHPs, to better understand their impact on enrollees' choice of health plan. Factors that determine enrollees' plan choice can influence the distribution of socio-economic, health risk, and behavioral characteristics across plans. These factors in turn can affect the financial costs, risk pools, and long-term solvency of such plans. The theoretical framework used in this study is adapted from Andersen's behavioral model and suggests economic enabling resources, self-perceived need for health care, predisposing characteristics, and plan cost characteristics are significant factors in Managed Care verses CDHP choice. First, descriptive statistics are used to describe the enrollee population relative to available plans. Then, multivariate analyses are used to examine hypotheses developed to examine employee earnings, prior Flexible Spending Account (FSA) participation, prior total cost sharing and Relative Risk Scores (RRS). Findings suggest first that CDHPs benefit from favorable selection, however the type of CDHP is a critical factor in the dynamics of plan choice. It is important not to categorize different forms of HRAs and HSA eligible HDHPs generically as CDHPs, but treat them as unique based upon their cost and administrative characteristics. Second, enrollees appear to select a plan that minimizes their future financial exposure based on past ESI experiences. Finally, CDHP choice and enrollee earnings may not have a simple linear relationship as suggested by prior research. Plan choice may depend largely on the dynamics between factors of economic resources, perceived need, and plan cost characteristics.
