UNDERSTANDING MANAGED CARE INSURANCE PLANS

UNDERSTANDING MANAGED CARE INSURANCE PLANS

Understanding managed care insurance plans is an extremely important process in your role as a medical office specialist or billing and claims specialist. As a healthcare professional, you’ll work with or be affected by managed care every day at work.

To understand the specifics of insurance plans, you first have to understand the evolution of health care and how managed care came about. In this lesson, we’ll discuss how managed care came into play and its role in controlling the costs of health care for members enrolled in different programs. The goals of managed care were to create a healthcare system where patients were provided the highest levels of care at the most cost-effective prices. The costs of a managed care insurance plan will depend upon the type of program that a member, or patient, enrolls in. You may even be familiar with some of the programs—HMOs, PPOs, and POS plans.

In addition to understanding managed care insurance plans, we’ll also discuss the importance of your role in collecting information on patients visiting your healthcare facility. You can have a direct role in correct patient information and whether the facility is adequately and accurately reimbursed. If it sounds like a big responsibility, that’s because it is! Don’t worry, though, we’ll walk you through understanding more about your role in this lesson and throughout the course.

History of U.S. Health Care

The history of health care is complicated, and it has taken a great deal of time to get where we are today. Over many years, the United States has worked to find an adequate healthcare payment system and appropriate reimbursement for providers. As you can imagine, it’s difficult to find something that provides exactly what everyone needs.

In 1977, the U.S. government gave power to an agency called the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA, pronounced “HIC-fuh”), created under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. On July 1, 2001, the name HCFA was changed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to reinforce the agency’s mission to serve Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.

This agency has come to be very powerful in healthcare operations in the United States due to the growing number of Americans, especially children, who are uninsured. Subsequently, the government passed numerous laws and policies that have affected healthcare billing and reimbursement. Many of the new requirements and guidelines have made the profession of medical billing quite challenging.

Health Maintenance and Screening Plans

Clinical preventive services, such as routine disease screening and scheduled immunizations, are key to reducing death and disability and improving the Nation’s health. Yet, despite the fact that these services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act, millions of children, adolescents, and adults go without clinical preventive services that could protect them from developing a number of serious diseases or help them treat certain health conditions before they worsen.

Discuss preventative services and ways to promote and overcome the barriers in your clinical practice to deliver holistic care including the recommended services for all patients across a lifespan. Please include examples, evidence-based information and references to support your work.

COVID19 in terms of Global Organizations

/in /by

think of the ways in which you can make sense of the pandemic in terms of Global Organizations. It is a reflection paper. So reflect on one or more issues that this pandemic is having you reflect on. Make sure you have a thesis statement and highlight the concepts you are integrating with your responses. Provide evidence for your response.

_______________________________________________________

if you can draw globalization concepts from this book:

Organizational Communication in an Age of Globalization. Issues, reflections, practices

by George Cheney, Lars Christensen, Theodore Zorn, Shiv Ganesh.

_______________________________________________________

Example:

Example of my thesis statement: The pandemic has left me think about a couple of concepts on globalization such as global reflexivity and social imagination (see Chapter 13). Global reflexivity helps me understand how the pandemic is a consequence of interdependence between nations, and social imagination helps me think through what we can become as a collective.

Given the above thesis, for global reflexivity, I would expand on how decisions taken locally and globally have led to the pandemic. Provide evidence. For social imagination, I would list a few steps taken by the government under pressure – giving laptops and free wifi to students in public schools for 60 days, allocation of relief fund, and free tests for corona virus (cite to support these points). These are measures toward providing education benefits, healthcare benefits, and support for the poor, which should be central to our society, regardless of pandemic. Hence, social imagination led me to think about what we can become as a society in terms of ensuring fundamental rights of citizens.

Hope the example above makes it clear what this reflection paper is about. At the end of each chapter we have covered, you will find snapshots of key concepts. Those concepts can guide you explain your reflections in terms of concepts. Having said that, if you find it difficult to connect your thoughts and experiences to concepts we have read, that is fine. It is possible that your reflection is something that cannot be explained by what we have covered in class. In that case try and explain what you think is going on in your language and offer your own conceptualization.

(2) What are your biggest challenges? (3) Are there new habits that you like and could imagine keeping on doing once the crisis is over?
