Book excerpt: "[This book is] the most authoritative assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of recent trends toward the commercialization of health care," says Robert Pear of The New York Times. This major study by the Institute of Medicine examines virtually all aspects of for-profit health care in the United States, including the quality and availability of health care, the cost of medical care, access to financial capital, implications for education and research, and the fiduciary role of the physician. In addition to the report, the book contains 15 papers by experts in the field of for-profit health care covering a broad range of topicsâ€"from trends in the growth of major investor-owned hospital companies to the ethical issues in for-profit health care. "The report makes a lasting contribution to the health policy literature." â€"Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.

Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Hospitals have historically incurred billions of dollars in costs for services provided to uninsured and other low-income individuals. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) offered ways for states to increase insurance levels including by expanding their Medicaid programs. In anticipation of the expected decline in the uninsured and uncompensated hospital costs, PPACA also reduced federal support for hospitals serving a disproportionate share of low-income and uninsured individuals and redirected some support to Medicare UC payments for hospital uncompensated care costs. GAO was asked to examine federal support for hospital uncompensated care. GAO examined (1) the key sources and amounts of federal support for hospital uncompensated care costs; (2) the basis for determining hospital uncompensated care payments made under Medicaid and Medicare; and (3) the extent to which Medicare UC payments align with hospital uncompensated care costs. GAO analyzed federal payment data for fiscal years 2013 and 2014, the most recent available, reviewed relevant laws and regulations, and interviewed CMS officials. "

Book excerpt: In addition to standard Medicaid payments, hospitals receive supplemental payments for uncompensated costs of care provided to uninsured and Medicaid patients. These supplemental payments are referred to as disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments. In FY 2006, DSH payments totaled about $17 billion and non-DSH supplemental payments exceeded $6 billion. Hospitals' DSH payments are limited to their uncompensated care costs, that is, their costs for covered care less Medicaid and other payments. This report examined: (1) how state DSH payments in 2006 compared to DSH payment limits; and (2) certain aspects of states' calculations of 2006 DSH payment limits. Charts and tables.

Download or read book How Much Uncompensated Care Do Doctors Provide? written by Jonathan Gruber and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude of provider uncompensated care has become an important public policy issue. Yet existing measures of uncompensated care are flawed because they compare uninsured payments to list prices, not to the prices actually paid by the insured. We address this issue using a novel source of data from a vendor that processes financial data for almost 4000 physicians. We measure uncompensated care as the net amount that physicians lose by lower payments from the uninsured than from the insured. Our best estimate is that physicians provide negative uncompensated care to the uninsured, earning more on uninsured patients than on insured patients with comparable treatments. Even our most conservative estimates suggest that uncompensated care amounts to only 0.8% of revenues, or at most $3.2 billion nationally. These results highlight the important distinction between charges and payments, and point to the need for a re-definition of uncompensated care in the health sector going forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Hospitals provide significantly more uncompensated care compared to other providers due to their history, mission statements, and the higher cost associated with inpatient services. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between payer source, insurance type, and hospital care type in the provision of uncompensated care. A sample of 342 Californian hospitals, using 2010 Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development data, was tested using Pearson correlation coefficient and an independent sample t test. It was found that hospitals with more Medicare and Medicaid program patients had higher rates of uncompensated care. Hospitals with more managed care insurance patients and specialty hospitals had lower rates of uncompensated care. As hospitals seek solutions to this challenging financial situation, community benefit and financial viability has to be balanced. With these findings, hospitals can potentially make financially responsible business decisions related to payment, negotiated contracts, and types of services offered.

Download or read book Impact of Insurance Expansion on Hospital Uncompensated Care Costs in 2014 (Black and White) written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes research on the effect of the major health insurance coverage expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on the drivers of uncompensated care (UCC) and on hospital UCC costs. Hospital UCC costs totaled between $46 and $51 billion in 2012, according to the American Hospital Association (AHA) as well as data provided to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) via Hospital Cost Reports. The Urban Institute reports that each individual uninsured for the full year of 2013 received $1,005 in implicitly subsidized uncompensated care, and that these costs totaled $49 billion nationwide in 2013. Though specific definitions differ, UCC is generally considered to be the unreimbursed cost of the care provided by hospitals to people who are uninsured, underinsured, or in some cases publicly insured. For the purposes of this report, we define hospital UCC costs as the combined total of bad debt and charity care. Bad debt refers to an amount hospitals anticipated receiving for services but in fact never received. Charity care is the value of services rendered for which hospitals never anticipated receiving payment, because the patient's inability to pay was determined early in the course of care; both of these sources of UCC are in large part generated by medically indigent or uninsured patients, though unrealized co-pays or deductibles for insured patients are also included in this calculation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Shared Destiny is the fourth in a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United States. This report examines how the quality, quantity, and scope of community health services can be adversely affected by having a large or growing uninsured population. It explores the overlapping financial and organizational basis of health services delivery to uninsured and insured populations, the effects of community uninsurance on access to health care locally, and the potential spillover effects on a community's economy and the health of its citizens. The committee believes it is both mistaken and dangerous to assume that the persistence of a sizable uninsured population in the United States harms only those who are uninsured.
