 Health care costs are increasing in the United States because of growing demand and more costly procedures. Uninsured or underinsured individuals also cause the cost of health care to rise.  Hospitals that are partially supported by taxes provide care to uninsured people with low incomes. Hospitals or health care providers often pass on these costs to patients who have insurance or can afford to pay full price. This raises the prices charged by providers and insurance companies. Health Care Reform

 Provide funding for research and promote education based on information learned through research. They may also provide special services to victims of disease by purchasing equipment or providing treatment centers.  What are some examples of these agencies? Volunteer & Nonprofit Agencies

 Most people rely on health insurance to pay for health care. A subscriber pays a premium to an insurance company. The subscriber is often an employer, but subscribers can also be individuals. The insurance company decides what services will be covered. If the service is covered, the insurance company pays for that service. Many plans limit the amount they will pay for a service and also sets deductibles, or the amount an insured person must pay before the insurance company begins to pay. Paying for Health Care

 Employers often offer insurance coverage to employees, this is group insurance. The employer may pay part or all of the premium as an employment benefit. Paying for Health Care

 In 2010, Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, extending coverage to 32 million previously uninsured Americans. The act also bans lifetime limits on coverage, exclusions for preexisting conditions, and policy cancellations when a person becomes ill, parents can also keep their children on a family policy until age 26. Paying for Health Care

 A federally funded and administered national health insurance program for citizens age 65 years and older, disabled, chronic renal failure, regardless of age. Paid for through payroll taxes of all workers and through monthly premiums paid by recipients. Medicare (1966)

 In 1983, the federal government instituted major changes in the way hospitals were reimbursed, hospitals receive compensation on a prospective basis, hospitals are paid one predetermined sum for a given diagnosis (DRG’s – diagnosis-related groups) Medicare (cont.)

 A joint federal and state program administered by the state government. This insurance program provides limited funding for hospital and medical care costs of low-income citizens. Each state sets the income levels that determine eligibility. As a result, some states provide more services than others. The state must budget money from its own revenues for the program matched by the government. The federal portion is always larger than the state portion. Medicaid

 Private not-for-profit health insurance companies set up through special legislation in the 1930’s. The “blues” are the largest single insurer outside the federal government from shish businesses and industry can purchase health insurance for employees. Both hospital and medical care insurance are available. Blue Cross / Blue Shield

 A federally mandated, state-funded and state-administered insurance program available to workers injured on the job. Each employer is assessed a payroll tax, which funds the plan. Workers’ Compensation

 designed specifically to control costs. Managed care organizations manage, negotiate, and contract for healthcare with the primary goal of keeping health care costs down.  HMO – Health Maintenance Organization  PPO – Preferred Provider Organization Managed Care

 Clients who have no insurance and who must pay the entire health care bill Private Pay

 Health care delivered that is not paid for by an insurance program or by clients themselves. Many private pay clients contribute to the amount of uncompensated care when they cannot pay the high costs of health care. Other sources of uncompensated care include the differences between what the care costs and what Medicare or Medicaid pays the provider. By law, providers cannot bill anyone for the differences and must absorb the loss of revenue. Uncompensated Care
