Book Synopsis Managed Care and Monopoly Power by : Deborah HAAS-WILSON
Download or read book Managed Care and Monopoly Power written by Deborah HAAS-WILSON and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As millions of Americans are aware, health care costs continue to increase rapidly. Much of this increase in health care costs is due to the development of new life-sustaining drugs and procedures, but part of it is due to the increased monopoly power of physicians, insurance companies, and hospitals, as the health care sector undergoes reorganization and consolidation. There are two tools to limit the growth of monopoly power: government regulation and antitrust policy. In this timely book, Deborah Haas-Wilson argues that enforcement of the antitrust laws is the tool of choice in most cases. Focusing on the economic concepts necessary to the enforcement of the antitrust laws in health care markets, Haas-Wilson provides a useful roadmap for guiding the future of these markets.

Download or read book The Economics of U.S. Health Care Policy: The Role of Market Forces written by Frank W. Musgrave and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a primary text for courses in health care economics and policy analysis, this comprehensive work places the issues and economic analysis of the health care industry in the context of market forces driving the industry, including negotiated markets, managed care, and the growing influence of oligopolies. Written in accessible prose, without the aid of technical jargon and mathematical formulations, the content is rich with applicable, understandable economic concepts and analysis, and examples of market failure and government involvement. Some of the major policy issues covered are drug pricing, Medicare and Medicaid reform, the medically uninsured, for-profit hospital monopoly price power, managed care competitive pricing, and new negotiated markets. The relevant economic concepts employed in the text include price elasticity of demand/supply, market structure from competitive to oligopolistic markets, monopoly pricing power, measures of health care inflation and the biases of the CPI, demand and supply factors, inverse relationship of present health care expenditures as a percentage of GDP, measures/concepts of efficiency, and the role of government in a market era.
Book Synopsis The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care by : John Eugene Billi
Download or read book The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care written by John Eugene Billi and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representatives of industry, government, caregivers, and consumers join scholars and policy analysts in comparing market forces to regulation as potential means for righting what is wrong with managed care. The contributors that John E. Billi and Gail B. Agrawal have gathered here quickly move the healthcare debate beyond the classroom, think tank, and statehouse to the boardroom and examining room. Some argue strongly that the solution is to be found in the democratic process and government intervention, while others maintain that only market forces in a competitive environment can respond quickly to the needs of consumers and purchasers alike. The contributors' diverse opinions about the oversight of managed care reflect an enduring divide, one that will affect how society ultimately resolves questions about the inevitable tradeoffs among health-care quality, cost, and access in an environment of limited resources. The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care will appeal to policymakers, those in the medical field, and all readers interested in the American experience with managed care. John E. Billi is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Medical Education; Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, University of Michigan Medical School; and Associate Vice President for Medical Affairs, University of Michigan. Gail B. Agrawal is Associate Professor of Law, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Book Synopsis Managed Care and the Hospital Market Concentration by : Masaki Yamada
Download or read book Managed Care and the Hospital Market Concentration written by Masaki Yamada and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of managed care on the local hospital market structure. During the 1990s, managed care increased its presence rapidly in the healthcare market, and local hospital markets became more concentrated through closures and mergers. Despite the clear-cut observational correlation, the literature has not agreed on the causality. This paper analyzes the impact of managed care on two different dimensions of market concentration: the number of hospitals and the variation of the market shares of hospitals in each local market. This paper discovers that managed care reduces the number of hospitals, by driving relatively inefficient hospitals out of the market. However, it also reduces the variation of market shares, which counterbalances increased market concentration through a fall in the number of hospitals. Since market concentration indices map these two different dimensions of market concentration onto one dimension, the sum of those two conflicting effects makes managed care and market concentration indices seemingly unrelated. This explains the latest findings in the literature that the hospital market concentration and managed care market penetration have little correlation. Combined with existing findings in the literature, an excessive emphasis on the variation of market shares may lead to a failure of interpreting the market power of hospitals accurately.

Book Synopsis The Managed Care Blues and how to Cure Them by : Walter A. Zelman
Download or read book The Managed Care Blues and how to Cure Them written by Walter A. Zelman and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shattering the myths about what's wrong with managed health care, this penetrating introduction to managed care explains its origins and identifies its real achievements and shortcomings. Walter A. Zelman and Robert A. Berenson argue that many criticisms of managed care tend to idealize the costly and fragmented insurance system it supplanted, without pinpointing the true inadequacies of today's managed care. In addition to providing reasoned answers to the most alarmist critiques of managed care, the authors maintain that it has not fulfilled its potential to improve the overall quality of care. The authors propose thirteen concrete recommendations for raising quality in managed care programs, ranging from enacting additional legal protections and increased disclosure to putting the purchasing power in the hands of those who care most about quality -- individuals, rather than employers. With practical solutions for making managed care better, The Managed Care Blues and How to Cure Them is a bold call for greater consumer protection, knowledge, and power in the health care arena.
