1. For non-provision of clear pricing information
Mr. Lee pointed that we did not provide him with clear pricing information. In fact, during his first visit to our center, what we only know is whether his Bupa card can be used in our center and we have informed him about this. We would not know what can be covered by his insurance, how much Bupa will directly prepay for him, the agreed charge for this patient and whether his pre-authorization is successful until his pre-authorization confirmation letter was sent by Bupa to us.

    Breondra, DRG’s provided other benefits over the FFS system by encouraging better quality of care and less time for inpatient stays (Levinson, 2014). This is by encouraging hospitals to improve the quality of care at discharge to prevent patients from being readmitted before a 30-day period for the same illness. The hospitals also need to treat and discharge in a timely manner to make a profit under DRG’s, which in most cases benefit both Medicare and the beneficiary. The introduction of the inpatient prospective payment system (PPS), was intended to motivate hospitals to change the way they deliver services (David C., 1992). With DRGs, Medicare capped their payments in an effort to ensure fair compensation for services provided without…

    On behalf of our member companies, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) writes to request a meeting to discuss the importance of fair and accurate reimbursement for community pharmacies for specialty drugs. As we previously noted, addressing both the cost of the drug product and the cost of dispensing is critical to maintaining patient access to Medicaid pharmacy services, especially when considering the increasing cost of providing specialty drugs and services to the Medicaid population. We are requesting this meeting to speak to you to discuss possible options for CMS to provide further direction and/or guidance to the states in this policy area. We believe that if adequate direction and/or guidance is not provided, states will adopt insufficient reimbursement rates and dispensing fees for specialty drugs resulting in below-cost reimbursement for participation pharmacies.…

    In other words, how much would out of pocket costs have financially hurt the individual or depending on how sick one of the individuals in the case was, how much treatment would need to be covered to give the person a peace of mind. In Gerald’s situation, one of the most important aspects for his coverage would be the amount of test strips he would be able to receive. Plan B did not offer Gerald any test strips all of the strips he would need were based on out of pocket costs and Plan C seemed as is Gerald would be dependent of his own health. Being as though both of those options are unrealistic for a person dealing with diabetes, our group decided Plan A would be the best result. Plan A covers the cost of anything Gerald would need as well as the aid of a nurse if necessary.…

    The purpose of the Hoffner Clinic is to help individuals who cannot afford dental care. It provides free dental care to low income or uninsured patients. My role was assisting the dentists, taking care of x-ray work, setting up trays depending on the procedure, and cleaning of stations after each patient. Although my favorite part was learning how to take x-ray for patients, I was also able to familiarize myself with proper dental instruments and procedures. The best part of this volunteering event, in my opinion, was seeing how grateful the patients were at the…

    Reimbursement within the healthcare system is changing consistently and many issues and concerns can arise with those changes. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center receives reimbursement from a variety of payers on a state, federal and private pay level. An example of one of the types of reimbursements used at Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK) is “Fee-for- service reimbursement”. With this type of reimbursement providers receive payment for each service that is made (Hagland). There are advantages to this type of method such as independence to policy holders and some disadvantages are the risk of uncertainty and high copays and deductibles for patients.…

    During a patient visit, both the patient and provider must decide on which health issues to discuss. The provider must also decide on what care to provide the patient within the limited time frame of the appointment. By introducing a new guideline, another may be dropped, resulting in the rationing of care. The discontinued care is the opportunity cost of implementing the new guideline. Even when a provider is able to follow all guidelines on a given patient and spends the extra time required to do so, opportunity cost still occurs.…
