This document explains Medicare Parts B and C. Part B covers routine healthcare costs like doctor visits. Enrollees pay a monthly premium and an annual deductible, then Medicare pays 80% of approved costs while the enrollee pays the remaining 20%. Over 90% of enrollees incur Part B costs each year, averaging $1,000-$1,750 out-of-pocket. Part C, known as Medicare Advantage, allows enrollees to receive Medicare benefits through private insurance plans.

This document presents information on Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. It discusses how the ACA provides additional federal funding for states to expand Medicaid eligibility up to 138% of the federal poverty level. The document also notes that 26 states have refused Medicaid expansion funding so far, with Texas being the state with the highest uninsured population. It explores perspectives on both the opportunities and challenges of Medicaid expansion, such as increased access to care but debates around costs. Videos and references on the topic are also provided.
Community health centers faced funding cuts when Congress reduced their budget by $600 million. This put expansion projects on hold for centers like Lorain County Health & Dentistry in Ohio. While existing center operations were funded to continue, the cuts threatened future growth. Hospitals also worried about the impacts, recognizing that health centers help reduce emergency room use by providing primary care to underserved populations. Plans for new health center sites near local hospitals in Lorain County were delayed due to the funding reductions.

An advocacy group has developed a decision support tool to help consumers choose health insurance plans on public exchanges. The tool shows that out-of-pocket costs can vary by up to 600% depending on the metal level (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) of the chosen plan. By entering expected medical expenses and prescriptions, the tool calculates costs across different plan options and identifies the most cost effective choice. This is important because consumers often choose the lowest premium plan without considering other out-of-pocket costs, which can lead them to spend more over the course of the year.

3) Submitting claims electronically or manually. Claims are processed, adjudicated by comparing to benefits and edits, and then paid or denied with an explanation of benefits sent.
NPI (National Provider Identifier) Related to US Health Care Industry, Revenu...Jvs Prasad
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-digit number that uniquely identifies health care providers. It will replace existing identifiers used in transactions governed by HIPAA. Obtaining an NPI does not guarantee licensure, payment, or enrollment in health plans. The goals of implementing NPIs are to simplify electronic transmission of health information and more efficiently coordinate benefits. All HIPAA-covered health care providers can apply for an NPI online, and must use only NPIs in standard transactions by May 2007. The NPI will not replace Medicare's enrollment or certification processes.
State Law Provides Relief for Victims of HIPAA ViolationsCynthia Stamer
1) State law provides relief for victims of HIPAA violations through claims such as emotional distress, malpractice, defamation, and invasion of privacy since HIPAA itself does not allow private lawsuits for damages.
2) In a recent case, a nurse sued for negligent retention and supervision after her employer continued to assign a coworker who had viewed her medical records without permission in violation of HIPAA.
3) The court allowed the lawsuit to proceed, finding the employer was notified of the coworker's HIPAA violations and termination from the previous employer, but still assigned the coworker to the same location as the plaintiff.
Tracking Medical Bills_ Eleven Questions To AskMichael783Beam3
The document discusses how to track and organize medical bills and insurance documents. It provides advice on documenting statements, invoices, and explanations of benefits forms. Key documents include initial statements, explanations of benefits forms from insurance providers, and final invoices.

This document summarizes a policy brief on Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) and patient confidentiality. It discusses the tension between maintaining patient confidentiality, especially for adolescents and young adults seeking sensitive health services, and insurers' practice of sending EOBs to notify policyholders of medical claims and costs. While EOBs aim to prevent fraud, they can compromise confidentiality by revealing details of services received. The brief reviews legal contexts, case studies, and strategies to balance these competing priorities in light of expanding health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It describes a methodology involving interviews with 37 health care experts to inform potential policy solutions.
Over the last twenty years, medical costs associated with lost time workers’ compensation claims has risen dramatically, despite efforts to reform the system. Medical tourism, a popular option for many seeking lower cost health care, is one option that has yet to catch on. Issues of quality of health care in other countries is no different for workers’ compensation patients, as it is for health care patients, and with accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI), hospitals that cater to medical tourists offer better care at lower cost than most U.S. hospitals offer. Certain procedures, common to workers’ compensation claims, such as knee replacement, hip replacement and spinal fusion in countries such as India, Thailand and Singapore, are considerably lower cost than those performed in the U.S.
However, legal barriers currently exist not only for medical tourism, but for its implementation for workers’ compensation. Medical malpractice, liability laws, patient privacy and medical records (HIPAA), ERISA, and the PPACA, all present significant obstacles that need to be addressed before such implementation are possible. Case law in the US has recognized limited use of medical tourism, both domestic and international, and opens the door a little for further development in this direction. The globalization of healthcare as evidenced by the tremendous growth of medical tourism in the health care arena, will lead to the implementation of international medical providers into the medical provider network for workers’ compensation.
Colorado HealthOP, Colorado's first statewide nonprofit health insurance cooperative, received its license from the state to provide health insurance. It will offer affordable coverage options to individuals and employers across Colorado starting in October 2013.

It received start-up funding under the Affordable Care Act and will participate in the state's health insurance marketplace to enroll members for 2014 coverage beginning January 1st.
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be necessary to prevent the US healthcare system from bankrupting the country by 2050. It will be up to managed care organizations and providers to implement the ACA successfully by ensuring access to services like vaccinations and care for pre-existing conditions. So far the ACA has insured 32 million Americans and reduced the federal deficit by $100 billion in its first year. If effectively implemented, the ACA could save $600 billion in healthcare expenditures by 2020 and reduce the federal deficit by $1 trillion.
- Social health insurance is defined as a system where society views ill health as a public concern, and insurance is mandatory rather than a personal choice.
- The US has forms of social insurance like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Medicare provides universal coverage for those over 65 and covers around 49 million elderly and disabled people.
- The Affordable Care Act includes some elements of social insurance like the individual mandate, employer penalties, and subsidies to expand coverage, but it does not create universal or mandatory coverage. Projections indicate around 26-30 million people will remain uninsured after the ACA's reforms.

Medicaid May Allow States to Save Millions on Prisoner Medical CareJamie A. Brennan
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.
