Download or read book Prescription Drug Expenditures in the 10 Largest States for Persons Under Age 65, 2006 written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescription drugs account for a large portion of health care expenditures. In 2006, expenditures for prescription drugs among the entire U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population accounted for 21.6 percent of total health care expenditures. In 1996, prescription drug expenditures accounted for only 11.9 percent of total health care expenditures. While prescription drug expenditures are a significant portion of total health care expenditures, the percentage of individuals that have them, as well as the average expenditure amount and the proportion paid by each source can vary considerably across states. Using data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC), this Statistical Brief presents estimates of prescription drug expenditures for persons under age 65 in the 10 largest states for the year 2006 and compares these to the national average. The focus is on persons under age 65 to limit the effect of age differences between the state populations on their prescription drug use differences. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 level are noted in the text.
Book Synopsis Average Outpatient Out-of-pocket Prescription Drug Costs for the Top Five Most Expensive Prescription Drugs for Adults Age 65 and Over by : Frances M. Chevarley
Download or read book Average Outpatient Out-of-pocket Prescription Drug Costs for the Top Five Most Expensive Prescription Drugs for Adults Age 65 and Over written by Frances M. Chevarley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all adults age 65 and over are covered by Medicare. By 2005, working age persons generally had prescription coverage available through private insurance, but for the most part persons age 65 and over did not have prescription drug coverage available through traditional Medicare. However, persons age 65 and over may have had prescription drug coverage available through optional private health insurance from present or past employers, individually purchased private supplemental plans, optional Medicare Advantage plans, or Medicaid for those eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare. With the phasing in of Medicare Part D (an optional prescription drug coverage plan for Medicare beneficiaries for an additional premium charge) in 2006, average out-of-pocket costs per prescription drug purchase for persons age 65 and over were expected to drop. This Statistical Brief analyzes average out-of-pocket costs (excluding premiums) for adults age 65 and over in 2005 and 2006 for the top five prescription drugs purchased in 2005 ranked by total expenditures. Similar data for these same top prescription drugs for adults age 65 and over are provided for those ages 45-64 with any private insurance for comparative purposes. The estimates are derived from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPSHC). Estimates for 2005 were adjusted to 2006 dollars based on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Price Index, National Income and Product Accounts, Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/index.asp). Unless otherwise indicated, all differences discussed in the text are statistically significant at the .05 level or better.
Book Synopsis Prescription Drug Expenditures in the 10 Largest States, 2007 by : Frederick Rohde
Download or read book Prescription Drug Expenditures in the 10 Largest States, 2007 written by Frederick Rohde and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, prescription drugs accounted for 20.7 percent of the overall health care expenditures among the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. 61.7 percent of the population had a prescription drug expenditure, and the average annual expense amount for them was $1,251. Prescription drug expenditures are distinguished from overall health care expenditures in the distribution by sources of payment. A higher percentage of the prescription drug expenditures was paid out of pocket (27.7 percent for drugs versus 16.2 percent overall) and a lower percentage was paid by private insurance (35.5 percent versus 42.4 percent) in 2007. Prescription drug and overall expenditures were similar regarding the percentage paid by Medicare (24.7 percent versus 24.8 percent) and Medicaid (7.8 percent versus 8.7 percent) in 2007. Many factors can influence health care expenses in a particular state, including the demographic, socioeconomic, and health status characteristics of the population. Further, the prevalence and types of health insurance coverage in a state can impact access to care, the level of expenditures, and the extent to which different sources finance health care services. This Statistical Brief presents estimates based on data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) on the use, expenditures, and sources of payments for prescription drug expenditures for persons in the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population in 2007 for the 10 largest states, and compares the results to the national average in 2007. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 significance level are noted in the text.

Book Synopsis Making Medicines Affordable by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Making Medicines Affordable written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.
Book Synopsis Mental Health Services: A Public Health Perspective by : Bruce Lubotsky Levin MD

This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and expanded third edition text utilizes a public health framework and the latest epidemiological, treatment, and service systems research to promote a comprehensive understanding of the organization, financing, and delivery of mental health and substance abuse services in the United States. Written by national experts in the field, this timely work will provide policymakers, administrators, clinicians, and public health and behavioral health graduate students with the knowledge base needed to manage and transform mental health service systems, both nationally and locally. The book is unique in providing a public health framework of the most significant issues facing mental health policy makers, administrators, planners, and practitioners. It combines issues (e.g., evaluation; law; ethnicity) that extend across different age groups, treatment settings, and disorders, with issues that are population and disorder specific. The publication of this book is timely for those involved with the debate over national health care reform legislation, and provides important and timely information (on populations at-risk for mental disorders, services, and systems issues) for those responsible for implementing policies and programs resulting from this reform effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health policy in the United States has been shaped by the political, socioeconomic, and ideological environment, with important roles played by public and private actors, as well as institutional and individual entities, in designing the contemporary American healthcare system. Now in a fully updated fifth edition, this book gives expanded attention to pressing issues for our policymakers, including the aging American population, physician shortages, gene therapy, specialty drugs, and the opioid crisis. A new chapter has been added on the Trump administration's failed attempts at repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act and subsequent attempts at undermining it via executive orders. Authors Kant Patel and Mark Rushefsky address the key problems of healthcare cost, access, and quality through analyses of Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Health Administration, and other programs, and the ethical and cost implications of advances in healthcare technology. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and a comprehensive reference list. This textbook will be required reading for courses on health and healthcare policy, as well as all those interested in the ways in which American healthcare has evolved over time.

Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.
