Abusing The Patient: Medicare Fraud And Abuse And Hospital-Physician Incentive Plans, Kathryn A. Krecke

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part I provides a background discussion of the PPS, DRGs, and incentive plans. Part II focuses on the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare statute and argues that incentive plans violate the plain language · of the statute, which prohibits any knowing and willful remuneration for the inducement of referrals. Part III concentrates on the fraudulent and abusive practices that incentive plans encourage. The plans frustrate legislative intent because they encourage practices that subvert the cost-containment purposes of the PPS and have an adverse effect on patient care.

Informational Regulation Of Consumer Health Risks: An Empirical Evaluation Of Hazard Warnings, W. Kip Viscusi, Wesley A. Magat, Joel Huber

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

On the basis of data from a survey of almost 400 consumers, this article assesses whether consumer behavior is responsive to information about product hazards that is provided in response to regulation. We find that the extent to which consumers take precautions is consistent with the level of risk indicated, the amount of risk information, the specific risk and precaution indicated, and the economic benefits of safety precautions. We also use the patterns of precautionary behavior to analyze the implicit value of the morbidity effects and to assess the consistency of consumer choices. Our findings support the use of product-hazard …

Proposition 64: The Aids Initiative In California, Senate Office Of Research

California Senate

The Prevent AIDS Now Initiative Committee (PANIC), working closely with Lyndon LaRouche's national organization, has placed on the November ballot a short, seemingly simple initiative measure whose stated purpose is to protect people with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and protect the public health. Although no one could criticize such a purpose, PANIC's initiative uses ambiguous, unclear language that can be interpreted in strikingly different ways, with widely varying effects on public health AIDS prevention efforts.

If the Initiative is approved by the voters, we can expect intense and lengthy litigation over the many legal questions raised by its confusing …

Made In The U.S.A.: Legal And Ethical Issues In Artificial Heart Experimentation, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The death of William Schroeder in Louisville, Kentucky, on August 6, 1986, brought to a close a remarkable chapter in public human experimentation. Artificial heart implants represent the most public experiments in the history of the world. The manner in which they are conducted is a matter of utmost public and professional concern, since it graphically portrays the seriousness with which we take our laws and ethical rules regarding the protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects. Unfortunately, the brief history of artificial heart implants is neither a happy nor a proud one. Begun with high hopes and …

The Painful Prescription: A Procrustean Perspective?, Frances H. Miller, Graham A.H. Miller

Faculty Scholarship

The United States and Great Britain have often been called two countries divided by a common language. In the field of medicine, common language facilitates comparisons, but it can obscure basic value differences as well. Henry Aaron, Ph.D., and William Schwartz, M.D., in their influential book The Painful Prescription: Rationing Hospital Care,1 analyzed how and why Britain (as compared with the United States) has apparently limited the use of such high-technology procedures as kidney dialysis, CT scans, coronary-artery surgery, x-ray films, and intensive care beds. The authors then speculated about whether similar responses will be forthcoming in this …

The Medicare Rx: Prospective Pricing To Effect Cost Containment, H. Lynda Kugel

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note analyzes the impact of changing hospital reimbursement while maintaining charge-based reimbursement for physicians on hospital-physician relationships and on cost and quality of care. This Note contends that if the stated goals of redirecting incentives and containing costs are to be realized, physicians must be drawn into the revised reimbursement scheme. An indirect, aggregate approach is advocated to maintain the integrity of the physician-patient relationship and to avoid a direct financial impact upon the physician regarding patient care decisions. Part I will briefly examine the reasons for changing hospital reimbursement from retrospective cost-based reimbursement to prospective fixed rates. Part …

Legal Rights And Issues Surrounding Conception, Pregnancy, And Birth, Hutton Brown, Miriam Dent, L. Mark Dyer, Cherie Fuzzell, Anita Gifford, Sam Griffin, A. G. Kasselberg M.D., Jayne Workman, Melinda Cooper

Vanderbilt Law Review

Advances in medicine are reported almost daily in the media. Medical researchers have developed and are continuing to develop new methods of creating, saving, and prolonging life. This Special Project examines the impact that rapidly advancing medical technology has on the law governing conception, pregnancy, and birth.

Although medical techniques have advanced rapidly during the past decades, state and federal legislatures have responded in-adequately to the legal consequences of these new birth technologies. The resulting lag between technology and the law has forced courts to confront new situations that do not fit neatly into the statutory framework created to deal …

Alas! Poor Yorick," I Knew Him Ex Utero: The Regulation Of Embryo And Fetal Experimentation And Disposal In England And The United States, Nicolas P. Terry

Vanderbilt Law Review

Replete with analogies drawn to war crimes and expressed fears that the progress of medical science would be halted, the debate over the ethics of human experimentation is nothing if not complex. Nevertheless, in 1978 The Belmont Report was at least able to identify certain generalized ethical principles to guide researchers: "respect for persons," "beneficence," and "justice."' These ethical principles, however, are based ultimately on our perceptions of humanity and personality. Applying these principles to research on fetuses or embryos is fraught with difficulty. Neither of our pluralistic societies has resolved the "separate" debate regarding the appropriate status afforded pre-viable …
