Financial incentives and drug spending in managed care. (1/393)

This study estimates the impact of patient financial incentives on the use and cost of prescription drugs in the context of differing physician payment mechanisms. A large data set was developed that covers persons in managed care who pay varying levels of cost sharing and whose physicians are compensated under two different models: independent practice association (IPA)-model and network-model health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Our results indicate that higher patient copayments for prescription drugs are associated with lower drug spending in IPA models (in which physicians are not at risk for drug costs) but have little effect in network models (in which physicians bear financial risk for all prescribing behavior).  (+info)

Who bears the burden of Medicaid drug copayment policies? (2/393)

This DataWatch examines the impact of Medicaid prescription drug copayment policies in thirty-eight states using survey data from the 1992 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. Findings indicate that elderly and disabled Medicaid recipients who reside in states with copay provisions have significantly lower rates of drug use than their counterparts in states without copayments. After controlling for other factors, we find that the primary effect of copayments is to reduce the likelihood that Medicaid recipients fill any prescription during the year. This burden falls disproportionately on recipients in poor health.  (+info)

User charges in government health facilities in Kenya: effect on attendance and revenue. (3/393)

In this paper we study demand effects of user charges in a district health care system using cross-sectional data from household and facility surveys. The effects are examined in public as well as in private health facilities. We also look briefly at the impact of fees on revenue and service quality in government facilities. During the period of cost-sharing in public clinics, attendance dropped by about 50%. This drop prompted the government to suspend the fees for approximately 20 months. Over the 7 months after suspension of fees, attendance at government health centres increased by 41%. The suspension further caused a notable movement of patients from the private sector to government health facilities. The revenue generated by user fees covered 2.4% of the recurrent health budget. Some 40% of the facilities did not spend the fee revenue they collected, mainly due to cumbersome procedures of expenditure approvals. The paper concludes with lessons from Kenya's experience with user charges.  (+info)

The impact of alternative cost recovery schemes on access and equity in Niger. (4/393)

The authors examine accessibility and the sustainability of quality health care in a rural setting under two alternative cost recovery methods, a fee-for-service method and a type of social financing (risk-sharing) strategy based on an annual tax+fee-for-service. Both methods were accompanied by similar interventions aimed at improving the quality of primary health services. Based on pilot tests of cost recovery in the non-hospital sector in Niger, the article presents results from baseline and final survey data, as well as from facility utilization, cost, and revenue data collected in two test districts and a control district. Cost recovery accompanied by quality improvements increases equity and access to health care and the type of cost recovery method used can make a difference. In Niger, higher access for women, children, and the poor resulted from the tax+fee method, than from the pure fee-for-service method. Moreover, revenue generation per capita under the tax+fee method was two times higher than under the fee-for-service method, suggesting that the prospects of sustainability were better under the social financing strategy. However, sustainability under cost recovery and improved quality depends as much on policy measures aimed at cost containment, particularly for drugs, as on specific cost recovery methods.  (+info)

Protecting the poor under cost recovery: the role of means testing. (5/393)

In African health sectors, the importance of protecting the very poor has been underscored by increased reliance on user fees to help finance services. This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding the role means testing can play in promoting equity under health care cost recovery. Means testing is placed in the broader context of targeting and contrasted with other mechanisms. Criteria for evaluating outcomes are established and used to analyze previous means testing experience in Africa. A survey of experience finds a general pattern of informal, low-accuracy, low-cost means testing in Africa. Detailed household data from a recent cost recovery experiment in Niger, West Africa, provides an unusual opportunity to observe outcomes of a characteristically informal means testing system. Findings from Niger suggest that achieving both the revenue raising and equity potential of cost recovery in sub-Saharan Africa will require finding ways to improve informal means testing processes.  (+info)

Improving quality through cost recovery in Niger. (6/393)

New evidence on the quality of health care from public services in Niger is discussed in terms of the relationships between quality, costs, cost-effectiveness and financing. Although structural attributes of quality appeared to improve with the pilot project in Niger, significant gaps in the implementation of diagnostic and treatment protocols were observed, particularly in monitoring vital signs, diagnostic examination and provider-patient communications. Quality improvements required significant investments in both fixed and variable costs; however, many of these costs were basic input requirements for operation. It is likely that optimal cost-effectiveness of services was not achieved because of the noted deficiencies in quality. In the test district of Boboye, the revenues from the copayments alone covered about 34% of the costs of medicines or about 20% of costs of drugs and administration. In Say, user fees covered about 50-55% of the costs of medicines or 35-40% of the amount spent on medicines and cost-recovery administration. In Boboye, taxes plus the additional copayments covered 120-180% of the cost of medicines, or 75-105% of the cost of medicines plus administration of cost recovery. Decentralized management and legal conditions in the pilot districts appeared to provide the necessary structure to ensure that the revenues and taxes collected would be channelled to pay for quality improvements.  (+info)

Policies with value-based insurance design gained in popularity among US private employer-sponsored plans beginning in the 2000s13,14 and have since gained traction in public policy. For example, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required health plans to include certain preventive drugs and services without cost-sharing, such as certain generic statins.15 More recently, the US federal government has charged the Medicare Advantage program (managed care coverage for older adults) and the TRICARE program (coverage for civilian personnel in the US Department of Defense) to pilot value-based insurance programs that reduce cost-sharing for targeted high-value health services.16,17 No other country explicitly uses value-based insurance design; however, policies more broadly aimed at aligning cost-sharing and value exist in other countries, albeit in different forms (e.g., France uses a form of value-based co-insurance design, wherein the level of co-insurance under the French social ...

Take a patient who has diabetes. If a health plan implements a value-based insurance design (VBID), the employers health plan will cover certain diabetes drugs for a reduced copayment. As a result of that reduced copayment, the patient continues to to use his diabetes drug, and therefore the condition is managed better. The employer and health plan see lower overall health care costs because of reduced complications.. Avalere Health, a consulting company, taking a page from the private insurer playbook, says that Medicare could immediately modernize its benefit structure by incorporating VBID because VBID tailors cost-sharing so that the beneficiary pays less for a needed medication or therapy, making him more likely to use it. The employer and health plan benefit because the patient has fewer costly complications.. The report, Value-Based Insurance Design in the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit: An Analysis of Policy Options, points out that Medicare Part D, with its 26 million enrollees, is ...
Value-based insurance design bases cost sharing on a medications clinical value, not its price. This study shows the effectiveness of value-based insurance design.
In an effort to alleviate their rising health care costs, employers have sought to share more of these expenses with their workers. To assess the impact of changes in employee cost-sharing on the use, cost, and quality of preventive and therapeutic care, the project investigators will examine medical claims and personnel data at two or three St. Louis firms for up to 70,000 employees and dependents. The analysis will include a special focus on workers earning low to moderate wages. If this work proceeds satisfactorily, a second phase will be proposed to assess the effect of cost-sharing on emergency room visits, inpatient hospitalization, and mortality. Study findings will inform policymakers and employers about the personal health and financial implications of imposing higher levels of cost-sharing. Cofunders are being sought for this project.. ...
New Alexander-Murray bipartisan bill includes V-BID Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA) reached an agreement on Tuesday, October 17th regarding their bipartisan bill to fund key insurance subsidies. The cost-sharing reduction payments reimburse insurance companies for lowering deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket costs for low-income customers. Page 11 of the draft bill language includes a section on value-based insurance designs: (iii) waivers encouraging or requiring health plans in such State to deploy value-based insurance designs which structure enrollee cost-sharing and other health plan design elements to encourage enrollees to consume high-value clinical services; Value-Based Insurance Design (V-BID) is a potential solution built on the principle of lowering or removing financial barriers to essential, high-value clinical services and providers. V-BID plans align patients out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments and deductibles, with the value of ...
Last week, CMS asked Medicare Advantage Organizations for feedback on Medicare Advantage Value Based Insurance Design model test that will begin on January 1, 2017
This paper develops a model of health insurance that incorporates behavioral biases. In the traditional model, people who are insured overuse low value medical care because of moral hazard. There is ample evidence, though, of a different inefficiency: people underuse high value medical care because they make mistakes. Such behavioral hazard changes the fundamental tradeoff between insurance and incentives. With only moral hazard, raising copays increases the efficiency of demand by ameliorating overuse. With the addition of behavioral hazard, raising copays may reduce efficiency by exaggerating underuse. This means that estimating the demand response is no longer enough for setting optimal copays; the health response needs to be considered as well. This provides a theoretical foundation for value-based insurance design: for some high value treatments, for example, copays should be zero (or even negative). Empirically, this reinterpretation of demand proves important, since high value care is ...
In light of the varied requirements and flexibilities pertaining to the design of benefit packages and to cost-sharing amounts in Medicaid and the Marketplace, and to illustrate the impact of different state policy choices on working people with disabilities, this issue brief considers the rules as they might affect representative individuals in different situations. The rest of this paper presents three profiles of hypothetical working people with disabilities and examines how their benefits and cost-sharing obligations may differ as they move between Medicaid state plan and new adult ABP coverage and between Medicaid and Marketplace QHPs. The analysis focuses on selected categories of benefits that are important to many people with disabilities, including mental health and substance use treatment services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, and LTSS.. The analysis considers the benefits and cost-sharing rules that apply to newly eligible adults in ...
PERRY COUNTY - The Perry County Soil and Water Conservation District has received a Clean Water Indiana Grant to be used for a cost-sharing program for pasture and land used for hay production. The purpose of this cost-share program is to provide technical and financial assistance to Perry County landowners for pasture and hay land planting this fall. The program is open to all Perry County landowners and offers a cost-share payment of 50 percent of the actual cost for a pasture-hay land planting, not to exceed $150 per acre with a cap of $750 per landowner.

Background: Treatment for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that is not concordant with the NCCN Guidelines for Breast Cancer has been associated with higher healthcare utilization and payer costs. However, a significant knowledge gap exists regarding the impact of guideline-discordant care on patient cost responsibility. This study examined this question among patients with MBC in the year postdiagnosis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the SEER-Medicare linked database from 2000 through 2013. Guideline discordance, defined by year-specific NCCN Guidelines, was assessed for first-line antineoplastic treatment and grouped into discrete categories. Patient cost responsibility (deductibles, coinsurance, copayments) in women with MBC were summed for all medical care received in the year postdiagnosis. The difference in patient cost responsibility by guideline discordance status was estimated using linear mixed-effect models. Results: Of 3,709 patients with MBC surviving at least ...

A continually popular question that I receive is how high can specialty copays be set before patients stop taking their medication? Unfortunately, empirical data to guide the answer to this question is fairly limited. Four studies of elasticity of specialty medications have been published, most examining data from the early to mid-2000s. The first…
It is often argued that cost-sharing -- charging a subsidized, positive price -- or a health product is necessary to avoid wasting resources on those who will not use or do not need the product. We explore this argument through a field experiment in Kenya, in which we randomized the price at which prenatal clinics could sell long lasting anti-malarial insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) to pregnant women. We find no evidence that cost-sharing reduces wastage on those that will not use the product: women who received free ITNs are not less likely to use them than those who paid subsidized positive prices. We also find no evidence that cost-sharing induces selection of women who need the net more: those who pay higher prices appear no sicker than the average prenatal client in the area in terms ...

Copayments, rather than coinsurance, apply to the majority of workers covered by health plans that have three or more drug tiers, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation report. Percentages vary slightly across drug types, mostly because some plans have copayments for some drug tiers and coinsurance for others.. For members in plans with three or more tiers of cost sharing, average copayments in 2011 were consistent with the amounts reported in 2010, says the report. The 2011 averages were $10, $29, $49, and $91.. Coinsurance levels can be described in a similar way.. Members in plans with three, four, or more tiers of cost sharing for prescription drugs who pay coinsurance rather than copayments face coinsurance levels that average 18 percent for first-tier drugs, 25 percent for second-tier drugs, and 39 percent for third-tier drugs - similar to the percentages reported last year.. The report says 14 percent of covered workers are in a plan that has four or more tiers of cost sharing for ...
Of the many factors that contribute to poor medication adherence among the chronically ill, the portion of drug costs borne by patients appears to be central. Pitney Bowes is one of a handful of large employers and insurers that have begun experimenting with reduced copays for essential medications. In 2007, the company reduced or eliminated cost-sharing for medications used to treat coronary artery disease and osteoporosis, with the goal of improving employees medication adherence and health outcomes. This project will examine Pitney Bowes claims data to determine the impact that reduced copayments have had on medication adherence, clinical outcomes, health care utilization, and costs. The findings will aid employers, private insurers, the Medicare program, and policymakers in crafting changes to the structure of health benefits that lead to increased use of prescription drugs known to be effective for managing chronic disease.. ...
Why Certify?. Organic certification allows a farm or processing facility to sell, label, and represent their products as organic in the marketplace. Certification by USDA-accredited agents often adds significant value to products, helping to increase farmer revenues, and also helps to ensure that all organic products meet or exceed national organic standards.. The process of transitioning to organic requires significant time and resources for inspection, licensing, certification, and proper bookkeeping. By certifying and applying to the cost-share program, farmers can significantly reduce some of their financial resource burden.. Cost Share Funding - Authorization and Appropriations. Support for the cost-share program pulls from funds authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill, which increased funding for NOCCSP and kept AMA funding unchanged from the 2008 Farm Bill.. While full mandatory funding was available for both programs in FY 2016, Congressional appropriators are still in the process of ...

o assess the potential financial impact of increased patient cost sharing, HSC used actuarial models to estimate patients expected average annual out-of-pocket costs under a range of benefit structures for single coverage (see Data Source). Benefit Option 1 serves as the baseline, with patient cost sharing of $10 for primary care and specialist visits and no deductible (see Table 1). Option 2, which doubles physician visit copayments and includes a $150 copayment for emergency department visits and a $250 per day inpatient hospital copayment, represents typical copayment increases. Next, out-of-pocket costs for benefit structures with successively higher levels of deductibles and coinsurance (Options 3, 4, 5 and 6) are estimated for up to a $2,500 deductible with 30 percent coinsurance for in-network care and 50 percent coinsurance for out-of-network care.. Patients total out-of-pocket costs typically are capped by maximum out-ofpocket limits. In 2002, 41 percent of people in preferred provider ...

The MarketScan claims database contains information about health benefit claims and encounters for several million individuals each year provided by large employers. The advantage of using claims information to look at out-of-pocket spending is that we can look beyond the plan provisions and focus on actual payment liabilities incurred by enrollees. A limitation of these data is that they reflect cost sharing incurred under the benefit plan and do not include balance-billing payments that beneficiaries may make to health care providers for out-of-network services or out-of-pocket payments for non-covered services. We use a sample of between 1.05 million and 15.3 million enrollees per year to analyze the change from 2006 to 2016 in average health costs for covered benefits overall, the average amount paid by health benefit plans, and the average amounts attributable to deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The analysis of costs for each year was limited to enrollees with more than six months ...

The waiver of coinsurance and deductibles owed by patients treated by physicians and other health care providers has come under increased scrutiny recently. Although there are no clear legal prohibitions, commercial health insurers have aggressively pursued out-of-network provides who fail to collect or waive amounts owed by their insureds under different statutory regulations.
Using statistical analysis drawing on new data sources, this research project empirically analyzes the impact of deposit insurance on banks, on the stability of the banking system, and on the way a countrys financial system evolves. Our ultimate purpose is to turn the considerable amount of theoretical work on financial regulation in developed countries into a tested body of theory that can support reliable policy recommendations about how to tailor deposit insurance design to the particular environments of developing countries. Policy advice given by Bank economists on deposit insurance design must be sensitive to variations in institutional starting points and transition costs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to individual country problems of financial reform and development. We expect the results to significantly enhance our understanding of issues in deposit insurance design and improve Banks policy advice in this area ...

Q: Is balance billing legal?. A: In some circumstances it is and in some it is not.. Healthcare providers that are in-network have agreed to accept the insurance plans negotiated fees. Balance billing would not be permitted under an in-network agreement because the healthcare provider has agreed to accept the negotiated fees as payment in full plus any applicable deductible, coinsurance, or copay. In the above example this would mean that the healthcare provider would accept the $200 plus the $100 (deductible, coinsurance, or copay amount) as payment in full and would adjust off the remaining $200 balance. In this situation, balance billing is NOT legal.. Healthcare providers that are out-of-network have not agreed to accept the insurance plans negotiated fees and could balance bill the patient. Without a signed agreement between the healthcare provider and the insurance plan, the healthcare provider is not limited in what they may bill the patient and may seek to hold the patient responsible ...

By the early 1960s, it was glaringly obvious that the private insurance sector was incapable of funneling elderly, poor, and disabled patients into the health care system. The fact that these companies business model was incompatible with supporting those who most needed it ought to have been a decisive repudiation against private insurers right to be doing this in the first place.. Instead, the US government enacted Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, shifting the care of vulnerable populations to the public sector and leaving the easiest and cheapest patients in the same private market whose failures the government had just stepped in to alleviate. Even worse, these new federal programs eventually adapted one of the private sectors cost-reduction tricks: the copayment.. The cliched justification for charging copays is to relieve doctors offices of the burden of patients showing up at the first sign of a sniffle. (Never mind that we observe no such behavior among the wealthy, for whom copays are ...

In 2018 the average employer in the US spent on healthcare $16,900 per (insured) employee per year. That number comes from Milliman Care Guidelines, a national organization that gives guidelines for good care and whose recommendations are followed by thousands of hospitals.. Mind you, thats NOT premiums … thats the actual cost of medical care that the employees incurred and paid for, either directly (deductibles, copays, coinsurance) or via the plan (what the plan paid on their behalf). Premiums were on top and would add an additional 18-20% to that number.. That number is calculated at the cost per employee per year. Yet some people are young, others old, some groups have lost of families; some are mostly singles. High-cost areas, low-cost areas.. If your group is younger than average, thatll reduce the yearly cost; older will increase it. If you have more than the average number of employees with dependents, that will increase that cost; mostly singles will reduce it.. The key isnt so ...
If there are still documents that you do not have, you should not put off your application because you can submit them later during the interview process. Some few members of MaineCare pay a premium. This is what you pay every month for the insurance coverage. Once your application has been approved, the notice of decision of your eligibility in the program will notify you if you must pay a monthly premium. You will receive a coupon every month you owe if you are required to pay. Return it, along with your payment when its due. Do not disregard this since you may lose your coverage if you do not pay. There are services and prescription drugs that have co-payments. How much you need to pay is based on the amount MaineCare pays for the medical service or drugs (unless you are exempted). Once you have paid 5% of the income you have each month, you no longer need to make additional co-payments. The following are the services that have co-payments: ...

espondents agreed that CalPERS size and leverage in California health care markets were important to carrying out the reference pricing program, but some believed other California purchasers with less leverage still have an opportunity to do this by closely following CalPERSs lead and directing their enrollees to CalPERS-designated hospitals.. As one health plan respondent explained, Small employers shouldnt expect that hospitals not on the [designated] list would be motivated to modify their prices [to accommodate that employers reference pricing program] since their employees represent such a small fraction of [the hospitals] book of business. But, the employers will benefit from savings if they can steer their members to the lower-price hospitals. Similarly, in markets outside of California, purchasers could likely establish a reference pricing program by steering members to low-price providers through cost-sharing incentives.
