Coalition Against Insurance Fraud: $1 billion (in savings) or bust
•
0 likes•5 views
The Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership, a collaboration between government agencies and private sector organizations, aims to save $1 billion by combating healthcare fraud through data sharing and joint efforts. So far over $260 million has been recovered or prevented from being paid out fraudulently. With early successes, the partnership believes the ambitious $1 billion goal by next year is achievable. Long term, as more data is shared and partners join, the potential savings could far surpass $1 billion each year given tens of billions are stolen annually through healthcare fraud in the U.S. The ultimate goal is to make fraud so risky that fraudsters will be deterred from even trying through effective collaborative countermeasures and advanced technology.

Medicaid provides health coverage to over 60 million low-income families and individuals in the U.S. After the Affordable Care Act, many states reduced Medicaid coverage or did not expand eligibility. This has caused millions to lose coverage. States that have expanded Medicaid have seen more people able to access care and lower costs to the state overall. Expanding Medicaid in all states would greatly benefit low-income residents by providing them health coverage when they cannot otherwise afford it.

The document discusses how spending on entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare has doubled as a percentage of the federal budget over the past 40 years, now accounting for 39% of spending. This rapid growth is unsustainable given the rising costs of healthcare and aging population. Republicans argue these programs need restructuring to reduce spending, while Democrats accuse them of wanting to dismantle the social safety net. Fixing the programs will require steps like raising revenues, reducing benefits for future recipients, or both.

The document summarizes concerns from Kansas legislators about additional state spending required by federally funded programs. It notes that in fiscal year 2016, Kansas agencies will need to spend an estimated $2 billion on cost-sharing obligations for over 500 federal programs. It also discusses conditions placed on federal funds, penalties for noncompliance, and how some national policies have been tied to federal funding with mixed legal challenges. The Supreme Court ruled that Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act was coercively tied to all federal Medicaid funds.

The document discusses a legislative post audit report on the potential costs and savings of expanding access to state-funded substance abuse treatment programs in Kansas. The summary estimates that serving an additional 4,500 to 7,000 individuals would cost the state $7 million to $11 million. While treatment could reduce spending on other services by $1 million to $7 million, this would not fully offset the cost of expanded treatment. The report found that increased substance abuse treatment in Kansas is unlikely to achieve significant net savings for the state based on the estimated costs of treatment and limited estimated savings for other state services.

Insurance premiums & the why?: pooling private & public sector resour...Alan Dixon ~ PathosCrescendo
The document discusses how pooling private and public sector health insurance funds can help control rising premium costs and expand coverage. It argues that by combining private commercial members' funds with state subsidies to health insurers, insurers can pay for increased medical claims costs from both groups. This allows for healthier surpluses that can enroll more Medicaid/Medicare members, reducing government costs over time. However, as population and medical expenses rise, premiums must also increase to cover each enrollee's expected $2,000 in annual costs. The best solution is increasing subsidies to insurers to cover enrollee expenses and allow only marginal premium increases.AHS - ObamaCare 3
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was established on March 23, 2010 under President Barack Obama. It aims to expand access to affordable health insurance by opening state-run health insurance exchanges. While intended to increase access to healthcare, Obamacare remains controversial with Democrats generally supporting it and Republicans opposing it. Over the next ten years, the program is expected to cost the government $1.1 trillion but reduce the federal deficit by $200 billion.

Milwaukee County has a $24.6 million surplus from 2012 and a brighter long-term budget outlook. The surplus will be split, with $5 million for 2014 and $19 million earmarked for the county's debt reserve fund. The surplus and improved long-range forecast are seen as a positive step, though ongoing budget shortfalls remain a structural issue and some factors like deferred maintenance are not reflected in projections. The improved financial condition could be used to push back against recent state legislation reducing the County Board's resources and authority.
THE BIDEN PLAN TO PROTECT & BUILD ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
From the time right before the Affordable Care Act’s key coverage-related policies went into effect to the last full year of the Obama-Biden Administration, 2016, the number of Americans lacking health insurance fell from 44 million to 27 million – an almost 40% drop. But President Trump’s persistent efforts to sabotage Obamacare through executive action, after failing in his efforts to repeal it through Congress, have started to reverse this progress. Since 2016, the number of uninsured Americans has increased by roughly 1.4 million

The Affordable Care Act and You
Sheldon Weisgrau gave a presentation on health care reform and the Affordable Care Act to a group in Wichita. He discussed why health reform was needed due to the high number of uninsured, rising costs, and inconsistent quality of care. He explained provisions of the ACA including expanding Medicaid, prohibiting denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, and creating health insurance marketplaces. He also covered enrollment in the marketplaces, financial assistance available, and when key parts of the law would take effect.
Health Plan Week 1-9-17
(1) The future of the Affordable Care Act is uncertain as Republicans plan to dismantle it, leaving health plans and consumers in an ambiguous situation.
(2) Insurance carriers may gain more freedom to experiment with plan designs if essential health benefits are no longer required, and short-term plans could resurge without the individual mandate.
(3) The future of the public insurance exchanges is a major question, as carriers push for more time to decide whether to continue offering plans on the exchanges amid political uncertainty.
Health Care Talking Points Presentation Document
The document outlines talking points in support of health reform. It argues that the plan gives Americans more control over their health insurance by holding insurance companies accountable, increasing insurance choices, and reducing costs for everyone. Specifically, it would ban pre-existing condition exclusions, dropping coverage for sick patients, and arbitrary premium increases. It also establishes insurance exchanges to provide small businesses and individuals more options.

This document summarizes key issues around health care in the United States in 2017, including the future of the Affordable Care Act depending on who wins the presidential election. It notes that the ACA marketplaces need improvements, drug prices are a growing issue, and the Children's Health Insurance Program must be reauthorized. It outlines Hillary Clinton's proposals to modify the ACA and allow people to buy into Medicare, as well as Donald Trump's position to repeal the ACA and replace it with a less defined alternative centered around health savings accounts and more state flexibility.
Controlling the cost of medicaid
The article discusses proposals to reform Medicaid in the U.S., including the House bill that would cap federal Medicaid funding. This could lead to a 26% reduction in federal support by 2026 and unprecedented financial risk shifting to states. The article argues that Medicaid reform proposals should consider the realities of the program, including that most enrollees and spending are for non-disabled adults, children, and older/disabled adults. It suggests bipartisan reforms could focus on increasing state flexibility, integrating physical and behavioral healthcare, and addressing high prescription drug costs. Overall, the greatest benefits will come from acknowledging Medicaid's successes and weaknesses to pursue tailored policies.
Impact of affordable care act amendments final i
The document discusses changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) since 2016 and their impact. Key changes include eliminating the individual mandate penalty, allowing states to add work requirements to Medicaid, and expanding access to short-term health plans. As a result, tens of thousands lost Medicaid coverage due to reporting requirements, and those with preexisting conditions may find limited coverage from short-term plans. Overall, the changes threaten coverage for millions of Americans and prioritize less comprehensive plans over those that fully comply with the ACA.

The document discusses the challenges states will face in implementing the Affordable Care Act's requirements for coordinating eligibility and enrollment across Medicaid, CHIP, and health insurance exchanges. It notes that Kansas' current eligibility system is outdated and unable to handle the increased load. Kansas plans to use an HRSA grant to build a new integrated online eligibility system that can determine eligibility for Medicaid, subsidies, and private plans in real time. However, many questions around coordination and operational details between state and federal agencies remain unanswered as deadlines approach.

The document discusses deficiencies in the Affordable Care Act related to Medicaid eligibility and funding. It argues that Medicaid eligibility should be expanded to cover more low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it states that the eligibility criteria should be changed to just below the income level of the middle class. It also argues that the government needs to better manage healthcare spending and could generate new funding by legalizing and taxing marijuana, with states required to spend a percentage on Medicaid. This would help increase access to healthcare for low-income individuals.

Medicare or Medicaid – which has greater impact in Florida Abov.docx
Medicare or Medicaid – which has greater impact in Florida?
Above is the answer of 2 peer. I need a response for them
PEER 1
Medicare and Medicaid are the greatest insurance programs run by the government. However, they are operated and funded by different parts of the government and primarily serve different groups. Medicare is run by the federal government and mainly provide health coverage to individual aged 65 years and above and those with disability. Medicaid entails collaboration between the state and federal government and provides health coverage to low-income. However, there are those how meet dual eligible criteria. Therefore, as a state and federal-run program Medicaid has greater effects on state governments. State governments co-fund the program and are expected to match federal funding.
From modest beginnings in 1965, Medicaid has grown significantly from $5.3 billion four decades ago, to $449 billion in 2013. In Florida, Medicaid expenditures have grown by 33% between 2012 and 2016. In 2016, the combined state and federal spending on Medicaid increased by 22%. Over these years, the federal government has provided between 55% and 60% of Medicaid funding. During the same time, Medicaid has growth to more than 75% of the Medicare expenditure and its share of national health expenditure has almost doubled. Following the passage of the Affordable Care Act, 2010, states were requested to expand their Medicaid program (Sutter, 2016). According to Ward (2020), the expansion of the Medicaid program has met significant resistant because of its presumed impact on state budgets. Florida is one of the states that have failed to expand its Medicaid plan under the Affordable Care Act. Some stakeholders argue that expanding the illegibility criteria is likely to have significant fiscal implications. Florida is among the states with the highest personal healthcare spending, ranking 5th nationwide. According to Buettgens (2018), the growing Medicaid expenditure are not necessarily driven by increased coverage, but also by changing medical needs, changes in demographics, and other factors affecting consumption of health care services. The debate on the cost implications of expanding Medicaid are likely to persist, but is evident that more Americans have health insurance.

Medicaid May Allow States to Save Millions on Prisoner Medical Care
This article discusses how states may be able to save millions of dollars in prisoner medical care costs by taking advantage of a 1997 Medicaid rule. The rule allows states to enroll prisoners in Medicaid and receive federal matching funds for hospital costs over $24 hours if the prisoners qualify financially. With the expansion of Medicaid under the ACA, many more prisoners likely meet eligibility requirements. The article recommends states research this opportunity and develop agreements between Medicaid and corrections agencies to implement enrollment of eligible prisoners in Medicaid to help reduce rising medical costs for prisoners.

The Affordable Care Act aims to provide more Americans with access to affordable health care through various reforms. It establishes health insurance exchanges to allow individuals and small businesses to compare plans, regulates the insurance marketplace, prohibits denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and expands Medicaid eligibility.

Health systems will need strategies to meet changing consumer and policy demands while maintaining financial viability.
Factors Impacting Employer-Sponsored Insurance Plans
Hadley Weiler is a respected professional in the Sacramento area who works for a firm offering HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance solutions. A report from the American Health Policy Institute explored factors impacting employer-sponsored insurance plans, including rising healthcare costs that are increasing twice as fast as general inflation. Another factor is that most employer plans do not allow participation in high-risk pools, which can help lower costs for less healthy individuals. A potential future single-payer system at the state or federal level could provide plans that surpass what most employers are able to offer.

Coalition Against Insurance Fraud: $1 billion (in savings) or bust
- 1. Coalition Against Insurance Fraud: $1 billion (in savings) or bust The Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership aims high When the ground-breaking anti-fraud partnership between the federal government and the private sector was launched in 2012, there were grand expectations that they could jointly combat fraud much more forcefully that going it alone. More than 60 organizations have teamed up to share strategy and exchange data. They include federal and state agencies, health plans and p-c insurers. Billions of bits of information have been pooled through a trusted third party. The results are encouraging. More than $260 million has been saved in recoveries and fraudulent claims not paid. The HFPP executive board met two weeks ago. It set a goal to expand savings to $1 billion by this time next year. It’s an ambitious goal, yet achievable given the early success of this collaborative effort. The potential success in future years could far surpass $1 billion as more data is shared and more partners sign up., And it should, seeing that healthcare fraud totals tens of billions of stolen dollars each year in the U.S.. The ultimate goal is to get so effective in combating healthcare scams that fraudsters will view the risks too high to even try. We’re a long way from that day, but collaborative efforts and advanced technology offer the best chance of getting us there. About the author: Dennis is executive director of the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud and serves as co-chair of the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership.
