The issue of fraud in health care has become a serious problem that every participant in the health delivery system must remain aware of in terms of potential and consequences. Managers in the health care system are tasked with ensuring that their staff members know the various fraud schemes as well as making sure that providers are not committing fraud themselves. A key way to accomplish this task is through education and training for fraud detection and prevention by and of health care stakeholders. The stakeholders in health care include providers, patients, organizations and institutions, the government, and the public. Also included are non-health care entities that may steal patient data for fraudulent claims and billing. Managers, therefore, are strongly advised to seek the services of health care compliance agencies to train staff, including doctors and nurses, on how to detect fraud and prevent fraud themselves. These agencies are also adept at helping to improve billing and payment functions to mitigate the risk of lost revenue through fraud and avoidance of criminal liability for the actions of providers and patients. The well-coordinated efforts of all stakeholders of health care assist in preserving the integrity of the system and make available quality services at reasonable prices for all.

Disclosure to relatives. This means that hospitals will not reveal information over the phone to relatives of admitted patients (U.S. Department of Health & Human services, n.d.). I do agree with this, however in cases where a patient may be out of state and is injured, unable to speak on their behalf, families are left to wonder where they are and what has happened to them. I agree that everyone has a right to privacy but if you look at it from a standpoint of an injured loved one and no way to contact them and find out what has happened, this can be a bad part of HIPAA laws in my opinion.
Victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. While thissection of the HIPAA privacy rule is good, it could also be bad. If the allegation does not look to be in the favor of the person it was meant to protect, the worry of retaliation is of great concern to the patient. If CPS or Police do not have enough to deem neglect or abuse the child or person being abused may fear retaliation from their abuser. This puts them in a difficult position.
PROS
Right to access your PHI. I think this is great because it allows patients to review their conditions, labs, imaging, and treatment plans. It can help keep them on track with caring for themselves and participate fully in the provider’s care. Patients can also request that their records be transferred to someone else that is caring for them, keeping with continuity of care.
Victims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. The HIPAA privacy rule allows providers to disclose PHI to authorities regarding victims. By having this in place, it helps protect children of neglect and abuse as well as domestic violence victims who are unable to speak out for themselves. By allowing us to share healthcare information that can help get them to a safe place and/or protect them from their abuser.
PROS
Medicare/Medicaid: These health plans are regulated by the Government; therefore, certain standards of care must be met by the providers in order to be reimbursed. I think this is good for the patients because if they receive poor care, hospitals/Doctors are fined, and it makes them want to improve their standards. An example of this is hospital-acquired infection rates. If a patient is admitted and develops a bed sore, or pneumonia, that is the hospital’s cost not the patient’s insurance.
Medicare/Medicaid provides care to patients who may not be able to afford it. Seniors and American’s with disabilities do not have to go without insurance because.

Consumer-Centric Healthcare: 2015--The Tipping Point Has Arrived (Report by William Blair)
Consumers—in tandem with disruptive healthcare technology and healthcare services providers—are the key to solving many of US healthcare's woes, particularly the unsustainably high cost of care.
Public exchanges, private exchanges, and high-deductible health plans are growing quickly. Disruptive forces of competition will create a lower-cost system that promotes the growth of highly efficient, low-cost, and high-quality providers and technologies.
The continued movement of financial and quality risk back to providers (and increasingly to consumers themselves) is encouraging providers and consumers to seek preventive medicine, cost efficiency, clinical efficacy, and overall value in healthcare. In turn, this could drive significant change regarding the primary point of care delivery (rapidly moving outside the hospital), the overall cost of healthcare and investment decisions made by healthcare providers.
Consumer-centric healthcare providers will experience strong top- and bottom-line growth over the coming years. Investors in both the public and private-equity markets will achieve superior long-term returns by identifying and investing in these companies.

Focusing on a Strategy Rigina CochranMPA/593
August 26, 2019
Peter ReevesFocusing on a Strategy
The health care policies in Colorado have led to the increase in household expenses for many years and it is anticipated to keep increasing. This increase in expenses impacts a significant amount of families specifically those who are trying to make ends meet. Challenges on health care costs and spending are typically used interchangeably by policy makers but have different meanings. Determining ways to handle the issue of health care costs as well as other issues related to health care policies in Colorado is essential for the state’s residents (William, 2017).
Transparency
Increasing transparency is one way that can be used to address the issue of healthcare policies in Colorado. The raising of drug prices has brought about a huge conflict among the policy makers and the consumers. New drugs are introduced and put on the market at high prices and many individuals know that the high prices are a great risk in the pharmaceutical industry. These high-priced drugs have confused and disappointed the customers and the policy makers. The various states use the policies that require transparency of pharmaceutical prices in order to force the pharmaceutical companies to take responsibility for the high prices. The manufactures are expected to provide information on rising prices and making the information available to the public. Price transparency enables cost control through customer motivation which has become the main goal among the policymakers.
Transparency aids in enhancing the quality of care as well. It helps hold the physicians responsible for patient care, thus encouraging better patient care, as well as enhancing healthcare productivity. The healthcare administrators control the system that is used for motivating the providers and set pol ...

Reduce Bad Debt: Four Tactics to Limit Exposure During COVID-19Health Catalyst
Health systems have always faced bad debt—from charity care to insurance claim denials—and COVID-19 has exacerbated its impact on revenue. While hospitals and clinics are responsible for providing care to populations, they can still generate revenue from care delivery without compromising care accessibility or quality. An effective bad debt management approach provides the patient with every financial resource possible and allows the health systems to focus less on payment and more on delivering the best care.
With four tactics, health system leadership can identify bad debt and implement effective processes to minimize it without undue burden on patients:
Identify bad debt exposure early.
Educate patients about alternative payment options.
Leverage technology within the workflow.
Understand the true cost of care.
Our group selected a recent annual report for WellPoint We assumed they approached our audit firm to hire us as their new auditor. We performed a preliminary analytical review and risk assessment, and wrote a report indicating to the partner-in-charge our recommendation with respect to this potential client.

August 19, 2019
Peter ReevesDefining the Problem
The health care system in Colorado is a composition of medical professionals providing services such as diagnosis, treatment, as well as preventive measures to mental illness and injuries ("Healthcare policy in Colorado - Ballotpedia," 2019). Health care policy involves the establishment and implementation of legislation and other regulations that the states use to manage its health care system effectively. Further, this sector consists of other participants, such as insurance and health information technology. The cost citizens pay for medical care and also the access to quality care influence the overall health care providers in Colorado. Therefore, the need for the creation and implementation of laws that help the state maintain efficiency in the health sector in Colorado.
Problem Statement
The declining standards of medical care within the United States has caused significant concern in the world. Due to these rising concerns, there have been various policies implemented, leading to mixed reactions among the different states. Some of the active policies implemented offer a long-term solution to this problem including Medicaid and Medicare. After acquiring state control, the Republicans dismissed the idea to expand and create medical insurance for Medicaid in Colorado. Sustaining the structure of the health care payroll calls for the deductions from the employees and the employers, which may lead to loss of jobs and increased burden of expenditure (Garcia, 2019).
Identify the Methodology
The main objective of this policy plan is to investigate the role of legislation in the management of the health care sector in the United States. Due to the need for achieving in-depth exploration, this paper uses a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection by addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of the research. Based on the answers that the policy requires, choosing survey as the research design. This method involves collecting and analyzing data from a few people who represent the principal group within health care. However, the survey method faces some challenges such as attitudes and perception of the health workers leading to the delimitation of the study. The target population for the study includes the nurses within the health sectors in Colorado. The selection of the participants involved in the use of stratified random sampling.
Identify your Stakeholders
The major stakeholders in the creation and implementation of the policy plan include the legislatures, local government, patients, and other private parties such as the insurance companies. Collectively, these bodies are involved in the makin ...

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Health 2.0 Conference Reviews Financial Impacts Of A Healthcare Fraud
1. Health 2.0 Conference Reviews
Financial Impacts Of A Healthcare
Fraud
Diving into the financial aftermath
of a healthcare fraud with experts
at the upcoming healthcare
conference
2. Introduction
Healthcare fraud refers to the deliberate misrepresentation or manipulation of healthcare services or billing for
personal gain. Financial impacts of healthcare fraud can be significant and far-reaching, affecting patients,
healthcare providers, insurance companies, and government programs. One of the most significant impacts of
healthcare fraud is the financial burden it places on patients. When healthcare fraud occurs, patients may be
subjected to unnecessary medical procedures or tests, or they may be billed for services that were never provided.
This can result in higher healthcare costs for patients, as well as lower quality of care.
Healthcare providers can also be negatively impacted by healthcare fraud. Providers who engage in fraudulent billing
practices may face fines, penalties, and legal action, which can be costly and damaging to their reputation. In
addition, healthcare providers who engage in fraudulent activities may be excluded from government healthcare
programs, which can limit their ability to provide health care to patients who rely on these programs.
Insurance companies are also affected by healthcare fraud, as they may be forced to pay out fraudulent claims. This
can result in higher insurance premiums for policyholders and can make it more difficult for insurance companies to
provide coverage to those who need it.Government programs are particularly vulnerable to healthcare fraud.
Fraudulent billing practices can result in billions of dollars in losses each year, which can lead to cuts in funding for
these programs or higher taxes for taxpayers.
The financial impacts of healthcare fraud is a key topic of discussion at healthcare conferences such as Health 2.0
Conference. Healthcare professionals, policy makers, and industry leaders gather at these conferences to share ideas
and strategies for combating healthcare fraud and reducing its financial impact on patients, providers, insurance
companies, and government programs.
Let us take a closer look at the financial impacts of a healthcare fraud with this presentation.
3. The Health 2.0 Conference: Let’s Learn About The
Biggest Healthcare Conference Of 2023
➔ An upcoming healthcare conference organized in Dubai and Las Vegas
that aims at bringing together the brightest minds and personalities of
the healthcare realm under one roof.
➔ A global event boasting of a diverse crowd of attendees.
➔ One of the premier post-COVID 2023 healthcare events providing
unprecedented networking and expansion opportunities to help you
grow.
➔ A platform that helps you to gain global exposure, insights and
knowledge about the healthcare industry.
4. What Are Healthcare Fraud?
Healthcare fraud is a term used to describe the intentional deception or misrepresentation of healthcare services or
products for financial gain. It can take many forms, including billing for services not rendered or for more expensive
services than were actually provided, or providing unnecessary medical procedures or tests. Healthcare fraud is a serious
issue that can have significant financial and health-related consequences for patients, providers, insurance companies,
and government programs.
A healthcare fraud can have a range of negative consequences. Patients may receive substandard care or be subjected to
unnecessary procedures, while healthcare providers may face legal action or reputational damage. Insurance companies
may be forced to pay out fraudulent claims, leading to higher premiums for policyholders, and government programs may
experience significant financial losses.
To combat healthcare fraud, it is important for healthcare professionals and policymakers to work together to identify and
prevent fraudulent activities. This can involve implementing measures such as increased oversight and monitoring of
billing practices, improved training for healthcare providers and staff, and the use of advanced analytics and data tools to
detect fraudulent activity.
Upcoming healthcare events such as the Healthcare 2.0 Conference provides a platform for healthcare professionals and
industry leaders to share their experiences and incredible insights into healthcare fraud prevention. By working together
to address this issue, we can help ensure that patients receive high-quality, affordable healthcare services and that
healthcare resources are used in a responsible and ethical manner.
5. Types Of Healthcare Fraud: A Quick Preview
Healthcare fraud can take many forms and can be perpetrated by individuals or organizations. Some common
types of healthcare fraud include:
1. Billing for services not provided: This occurs when healthcare providers bill for services that were not
actually provided to patients. For example, a provider may bill for a medical procedure that was not
performed, or may bill for more units of a service than were actually provided.
2. Upcoding: This kind of fraud occurs when healthcare providers bill for a more expensive service than
what they actually provided. For example, a provider may bill for a more complex medical procedure than
was performed, in order to receive a higher payment.
3. Unnecessary services: This occurs when healthcare providers perform unnecessary medical procedures
or tests in order to generate revenue. For example, a provider may order additional medical tests that are
not medically necessary.
4. Kickbacks: This happens when healthcare providers receive especial payments or gifts in exchange for
referring patients to specific facilities or providers. This is illegal and can lead to substandard care for
patients.
5. Identity theft: Identity theft occurs when individuals steal personal information, such as social security
numbers or medical records, in order to receive medical services or prescriptions.
At the upcoming post-COVID healthcare event of 2023, the Health 2.0 Conference, healthcare fraud is an
integral issue that experts will shed light on.
7. Higher Healthcare Cost
Healthcare fraud can have a significant financial impact on the healthcare industry, leading to higher
healthcare costs for patients, insurers, and healthcare providers.
Healthcare fraud can take many forms, including billing for services that were not provided,
overcharging for services, or providing unnecessary treatments. These fraudulent activities can result
in increased healthcare costs due to the diversion of funds that could have been used for legitimate
healthcare purposes.
Higher healthcare costs resulting from healthcare frauds can also have a ripple effect on the economy,
as businesses and individuals may have to pay more for healthcare coverage. This can ultimately
impact consumer spending and economic growth.
In conclusion, healthcare frauds can have significant financial implications for the healthcare industry
and society at large. Addressing these issues and implementing effective solutions to prevent and
detect frauds can help mitigate the financial impact of healthcare frauds and ensure that resources are
being used for legitimate healthcare purposes. Healthcare conferences like the Health 2.0 Conference
can provide a valuable platform for healthcare professionals to collaborate and share ideas on how to
address these challenges.
8. Waste Of Resources
Healthcare fraud can have deep financial impacts, particularly in terms of wasting
valuable resources. When fraudsters engage in activities such as overbilling or billing for
services that were never provided, they are essentially stealing from the healthcare
system, diverting funds that could be used to provide care to patients in need.
The financial impact of healthcare fraud can be seen in many areas, including increased
costs for patients and taxpayers, reduced quality of care, and decreased trust in the
healthcare system as a whole.
One way to learn more about the impact of healthcare fraud on resources is by attending
upcoming healthcare events, such as the Health 2.0 Conference. This conference focuses
on the intersection of healthcare and technology, and is a great place to learn about the
latest developments in healthcare fraud detection and prevention.
9. Reduced Access To Care
Healthcare fraud occur when healthcare providers or organizations engage in activities that are
deceptive or dishonest, such as overbilling or providing unnecessary medical services. These kind of
capricious activities can result in financial losses for healthcare payers, including government
programs, private insurers, and patients themselves.
One way in which healthcare fraud can lead to reduced access to care is by diverting resources away
from patient care. For example, if a healthcare provider is engaging in fraudulent activities such as
overbilling, they may be using resources that could otherwise be used to provide care to patients. This
can result in shortages of medical supplies or staff, making it more difficult for patients to receive
timely and appropriate care.
Another way in which healthcare frauds can impact access to care is by driving up the cost of
healthcare. When healthcare providers engage in fraudulent activities, it can lead to higher costs for
healthcare payers. These increased costs may result in higher premiums or deductibles for patients,
making healthcare services less affordable and accessible.
Overall, healthcare frauds can have a significant impact on access to care and the affordability of
healthcare services. Healthcare conferences such as Health 2.0 Conference, provides a platform for
healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss strategies for preventing and
detecting healthcare frauds, as well as improving access to care for patients.
10. Higher Taxes
Healthcare fraud can have a significant financial impact on both individuals and the healthcare
system as a whole. One of the financial impacts of healthcare fraud is the potential for higher taxes.
When healthcare fraud occurs, it often results in overbilling and unnecessary medical procedures
or treatments. This, in turn, leads to higher healthcare costs for both private insurance companies
and government programs.
When the costs of healthcare fraud are absorbed by these programs, the government may need to
increase taxes to cover the added expenses. This can lead to a burden on taxpayers who may end up
paying more out of their own pockets.
Additionally, healthcare fraud can also result in increased insurance premiums for individuals.
Insurance companies may raise their premiums to compensate for the losses incurred due to fraud.
This can make healthcare less affordable for many individuals, particularly those who are already
struggling financially. At the post-Covid 2023 healthcare events such as Health 2.0 Conference, the
issue of healthcare fraud will likely be a topic of discussion.
11. Loss Of Revenue
Loss of revenue is another devastating impact that healthcare fraud can have. When healthcare
fraud occurs, funds that were intended to be used for patient care or other legitimate healthcare
expenses are diverted to fraudulent activities. This can lead to a decrease in revenue for
healthcare organizations, as well as increased costs associated with investigating and remedying
the fraud.
Moreover, the impact of healthcare fraud extends beyond the immediate loss of revenue. It can
also lead to a loss of faith in the healthcare system as a whole, with patients and providers
becoming more skeptical of healthcare organizations and the broader industry. This loss of trust
can have long-term financial consequences for the healthcare industry, as patients may be less
likely to seek care or insurance providers may be less willing to reimburse healthcare expenses.
Upcoming healthcare events like the Health 2.0 Conference as a result are prioritizing
discussions on preventing healthcare fraud to protect the industry and its stakeholders.
12. Decreased Investor Confidence
Last but not least, decreased investor confidence is also an unfortunate financial aftermath of
healthcare fraud. This means that investors become less willing to invest in healthcare companies,
which can lead to a decline in funding and investment opportunities. When healthcare frauds are
exposed, it can damage the reputation of the entire industry, which in turn leads to a decrease in
investor confidence. Investors may become wary of investing in healthcare companies, particularly
those that operate in areas where fraud is prevalent. This can make it difficult for legitimate healthcare
companies to raise capital, which can stifle innovation and growth in the industry.
In addition to decreased investor confidence, healthcare frauds can also result in increased regulatory
scrutiny and fines, as well as potential legal action. This can further damage the reputation of the
industry and make it more difficult for companies to operate and attract investors.
Overall, healthcare frauds can have far-reaching financial impacts, including decreased investor
confidence, regulatory scrutiny, and legal action. To avoid such consequences, it is important for
healthcare companies to maintain high ethical standards and operate with transparency and integrity.
Healthcare conferences such as the Health 2.0 Conference can play a key role in helping investors gain
back their confidence by providing effective measures to combat a healthcare fraud.
13. Conclusion
In conclusion, healthcare fraud has significant financial impacts that extend far
beyond the immediate losses suffered by victims. In addition to the costs of
reimbursing fraudulent claims, healthcare fraud can lead to increased premiums for
patients, reduced trust in the healthcare system, and a drain on public resources. As
the healthcare industry is evolving, it is imperative that healthcare providers and
policymakers remain vigilant in identifying and combating healthcare fraud.
Post-COVID healthcare events such as the upcoming 2023 Health 2.0 Conference
can serve as important forums for sharing best practices, promoting transparency,
and driving innovation in healthcare delivery and payment systems, ultimately
leading to a more secure and sustainable healthcare ecosystem.
In this presentation, we will be understanding healthcare fraud and how it financially impacts the society as discussed at the upcoming healthcare event, the Health 2.0 Conference.
