Introduction
Healthcare reimbursements are stimulating in our world today because of the new developments and modernization of technology. The way in which care is administered to patients is important because it has a compounding effect to patients’ overall health. In the last sixty years, there has been a drastic change in the healthcare industry for the United States, and there are a number of signs indicating a rapid decline in health insurance coverage (Davis & Schmelzle, 2013). Providing a patient-centered atmosphere has always been the goal in the health-providing setting and different reimbursement systems can give more opportunities to caregivers to focus their attention on the patient instead of the money. This allows caregivers to fulfill the needs of those who walk through their doors. This topic matters because patient satisfaction affects every one of us who have ever been to the doctor, as well as the medical staff providing the care. It is also important in the medical world because reimbursements and incentives can drive physicians to focus more on the happiness and well-being of their patients if the right system is being utilized.

For example, when certain companies send their employees on business trips, the employee pays for their food, hotel, gas, or whatever they might need on the trip. The employee keeps account of the dollars spent by keeping the receipts. When they get home from their trip, they can get money back for their expenses from the trip. This is an example of a reimbursement. In healthcare, it works almost the same way, but the providers or caregivers are “paid back” by insurance companies or through government entities through a specific system of reimbursement
