What are two issues of physician reimbursement some are the practice expenses, doctor’s income and the reimbursement rates. The physician reimbursement is what the insurance company paid your physician for his services. Physicians cannot negotiate with the insurance company about the cost. Managed care organizations are trying to control the cost of health care but it’s not working.
MCO’s have contracts with doctors and hospitals on what they can and can’t do. MCO’s limit access to specialist that's not necessary, unnecessary procedures and reduce cost of prescription drugs.

However, things aren’t going to change if the consumers are the one that are paying more for medical services on the payer side there are HMOs, POS, PPOS and IPA’s these groups have a small risk for members but try to find lower medical costs. These groups can keep costs down and how a lower risk of passing on the cost to other parties or limiting the risk by limiting the amount of services or prices paid and thereby lowering the cost. A patient or member may need to pay the MCO‘s directly for an 80/20 insurance plan.
This deductible is determined by the health care plan. The patient has to pay him 20% before services. Sometimes a patient has to pay all fees before claims can be paid.

Patient’s beneficiaries are admitted to the hospital, they will have to pay an initial deductible of $792.00.
Then after 90 days the beneficiaries will pay $396 a day. For this plan when someone signs up they can choose from different plans.

To keep track of reimbursements that physicians will change is to monitor contract changes of the plans or doctor visits or hospital
