Estimating The Effects Of Health Reform On Health Centers' Capacity To Expand To New Medically Underserved Communities And Populations, Leighton C. Ku, Peter Shin, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Estimating The Effects Of Health Reform On Health Centers' Capacity To Expand To New Medically Underserved Communities And Populations, Leighton C. Ku, Peter Shin, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative
Nearly 100 million persons reside in urban and rural communities that can be considered medically underserved as a result of inadequate supply of primary care physicians and elevated health risks. A report by the National Association of Community Health Centers and the Robert Graham Center estimated that 60 million people are "medically disenfranchised" and lack access to adequate primary health care because of where they live, even though many have health insurance. This brief assesses the potential effects of national health reform on health centers and on the number of patients they can serve. Because improving primary care access is …
Antitrust Aspects Of Health Information Sharing By Public And Private Health Insurers, Taylor Burke, Lara Cartwright-Smith, Erica Pereira, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Antitrust Aspects Of Health Information Sharing By Public And Private Health Insurers, Taylor Burke, Lara Cartwright-Smith, Erica Pereira, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
This policy brief is the first of two to address antitrust considerations that arise in health system transformation aimed at producing greater clinical integration and greater levels of information about the quality and cost of care. The second policy brief will discuss the implications of several recent Federal Trade Commission rulings on physician joint contracting to achieve clinical integration and greater health information accountability. These rulings have significant implications for growing efforts, as part of health reform, to create entities known as accountable care organizations.
National Health Reform: How Will Medically Underserved Communities Fare?, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Emily Jones, Peter Shin, Leighton C. Ku
National Health Reform: How Will Medically Underserved Communities Fare?, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Emily Jones, Peter Shin, Leighton C. Ku
Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative
This brief examines the factors underlying medical underservice. It finds that the number of Americans living in communities at risk for medical underservice is more than double the number of persons who are uninsured. The report notes that even with health insurance reform, these communities and providers that serve them will continue to be affected by elevated numbers of low income uninsured persons, as well as persons who may be seriously under-insured because of poorer health status and lower family income.
Describing health insurance expansion as the single most important strategy to alleviate medical underservice, the Brief also identifies a …
Insurance Discrimination On The Basis Of Health Status: An Overview Of Discrimination Practices, Federal Law, And Federal Reform Options, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Insurance Discrimination On The Basis Of Health Status: An Overview Of Discrimination Practices, Federal Law, And Federal Reform Options, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
Actuarial underwriting, or discrimination based on an individual's health status, is a business feature of the voluntary private insurance market. The term "discrimination" in this paper is not intended to convey the concept of unfair treatment, but rather how the insurance industry differentiates among individuals in designing and administering health insurance and employee health benefit products. Discrimination can occur at the point of enrollment, coverage design, or decisions regarding scope of coverage. Several major federal laws aimed at regulating insurance discrimination based on health status focus at the point of enrollment. However, because of multiple exceptions and loopholes, these laws …
Boosting Health Information Technology In Medicaid: The Potential Effect Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act, Brad Finnegan, Leighton C. Ku, Peter Shin, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Boosting Health Information Technology In Medicaid: The Potential Effect Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act, Brad Finnegan, Leighton C. Ku, Peter Shin, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) will invest approximately $49 billion to expedite health information technology (HIT) adoption through Medicare and Medicaid. Our analysis of 2006 NAMCS data found that approximately 15 percent of the practicing office-based physicians in the country would qualify for up to $63,750 over six years in Medicaid financial incentives for HIT adoption. Included within the 45,000 eligible physicians are about 99 percent of all community health center physicians. If all qualifying physicians apply for the Medicaid incentives and receive the maximum level of payments, the federal government would invest more than $2.8 …
Medicaid's Medical Transportation Assurance: Origins, Evolution, Current Trends, And Implications For Health Reform, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Nancy Lopez, Melanie J. Morris, Marsha Simon
Medicaid's Medical Transportation Assurance: Origins, Evolution, Current Trends, And Implications For Health Reform, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Nancy Lopez, Melanie J. Morris, Marsha Simon
Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs
This 24-page policy brief examines Medicaid's assurance of medical transportation in the context of medically necessary but non-emergency health care. Reviewing the origins and evolution of the assurance and presenting the results of a 2009 survey of state Medicaid programs, the results of this analysis underscore Medicaid's unique capacity to not only finance medically necessary health care but also the services and supports that enable access to health care by low income persons since Medicaid covers non-emergency medical transportation. This ability to both finance health care and enable its use moves to the forefront as Congress considers whether to assist …
Improving Medicaid's Continuity Of Coverage And Quality Of Care, Leighton C. Ku, Patricia Mactaggart, Fouad Pervez, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Improving Medicaid's Continuity Of Coverage And Quality Of Care, Leighton C. Ku, Patricia Mactaggart, Fouad Pervez, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
Medicaid provides health insurance coverage to tens of millions of low-income children, parents, seniors and people with disabilities. Unfortunately, Medicaid enrollment is like a leaky sieve; every year millions of people enroll, only to subsequently lose their coverage, despite still being eligible, because of inefficient and cumbersome paperwork requirements. The interruptions in coverage affect the continuity and effectiveness of health care received. Interruptions also impair quality monitoring and improvement activities because many Medicaid enrollees were not enrolled long enough to assess the quality of their care. The presumption is that people who have been enrolled for less than a year …
Paying Medicare Private Plans By Competitive Bidding: Not The Same As Costs In Regular Medicare, Brian Biles, Jonah Pozen
Paying Medicare Private Plans By Competitive Bidding: Not The Same As Costs In Regular Medicare, Brian Biles, Jonah Pozen
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
Medicare Advantage plans are now paid $11 billion a year, and $150 billion over 10 years, more than costs in regular fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare. In the past two years there have been discussions about reducing MA payments to the level of 100 percent of average costs in FFS and using the savings to offset the costs of new Federal health initiatives such as health care reform. Earlier this year, OMB proposed "reducing Medicare overpayments to private insurers through competitive payments." Under this proposal, MA plan "payments would be based on an average of plans' bids submitted to Medicare." This issue …
Complexity, Cofactors, And The Failure Of Aids Policy In Africa, Eileen Stillwaggon
Complexity, Cofactors, And The Failure Of Aids Policy In Africa, Eileen Stillwaggon
Economics Faculty Publications
Global AIDS policy still treats HIV as an exceptional case, abstracting from the context in which infection occurs. Policy is based on a simplistic theory of HIV causation, and evaluated using outdated tools of health economics. Recent calls for a health systems strategy – preventing and treating HIV within a programme of comprehensive health care – have not yet influenced the silo approach of AIDS policy.
Evidence continues to accumulate, showing that multiple factors, such as malnutrition, malaria and helminthes, increase the risk of sexual and vertical transmission of HIV. Moreover, complementary interventions that reduce viral load, improve immune response, …
Tri-Committee Draft Proposal For Health Care Reform, Fitzhugh Mullan
Tri-Committee Draft Proposal For Health Care Reform, Fitzhugh Mullan
Health Policy and Management Congressional Testimonies
The Tri-Committee draft legislation takes a significant step towards establishing a health care workforce which will sustain a high-quality, cost-effective, fully accessible health care system. Moves to establish an Advisory Committee on Health Workforce Evaluation and Assessment, re-invest in the National Health Service Corps and Title VII of the Public Health Service Act, redistribute unused Medicare GME positions to primary care programs and establish teaching health centers, and address payment and practice challenges to primary care through the medical home and accountable care organization pilot programs are all positive moves towards a sustainable health care workforce. However, to fully achieve …

This report estimates the direct and indirect costs of care for women for the major chronic diseases and conditions that women face across the lifespan. It also identifies the key primary care and preventive services that can lead to prevention, early detection or early intervention for these conditions. Health care screening, counseling, early diagnosis, and early intervention health care services are important for women at each stage of their lives. But women typically seek care in primary care settings for family planning services and cancer screening prior to becoming pregnant. As a result, high quality care during the reproductive years …

Health Management and Policy Presentations
This analysis describes the organizational and operational characteristics of local public health agencies participating in an initial cohort of five (5) public health PBRNs in the U.S. We examine variation in practice settings within and between PBRNs; compare practice settings to state and national norms; and identify opportunities for comparative research that can be conducted through PBRNs.
The Application Of The Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act (Emtala) To Hospital Inpatients, Lara Cartwright-Smith, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Karen Belli, Elaine Purcell, Tasmeen S. Weik
The Application Of The Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act (Emtala) To Hospital Inpatients, Lara Cartwright-Smith, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Karen Belli, Elaine Purcell, Tasmeen S. Weik
Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs
This issue brief provides a brief overview of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) and focuses on its application to hospital inpatients. EMTALA applies differently to patients than non-patients, and also applies differently to patients admitted through the emergency department than patients admitted as regular inpatients. In addition, courts and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have differed in their interpretation of the statute. Depending on the specific facts of any particular case, EMTALA may or may not have implications for specialty-related transfers and discharges.
Health Insurance Fraud: An Overview, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Nancy Lopez, Scott Stifler
Health Insurance Fraud: An Overview, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Nancy Lopez, Scott Stifler
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
In 2007, the U.S. spent nearly $2.3 trillion on health care and public and private insurers processed more than 4 billion health insurance claims. The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) has estimated that, conservatively, 3% of all health care spending—or $68 billion—is lost to health care fraud. Other estimates by government and law enforcement agencies place fraud-related losses as high as 10% of annual health care spending; at this rate, the losses in 2007 alone – over $220 billion – would have been enough to cover the uninsured.
This report, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, delves into …

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
This policy brief is part of a Commonwealth Fund-supported project that examines community health centers in the context of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) movement. Community health centers—non-profit primary care facilities that provide care to patients regardless of their ability to pay—are widely lauded as critical components of the health care safety net, providing comprehensive primary care for lowincome, high-risk populations in both urban and rural areas. Since their inception, health centers have directed their activities at improving patient care—through comprehensive primary health care, coordination with specialty care, and the provision of enabling services—as well as improving population-level health status …

At the Senate Finance Committee Hearing held on May 5, 2009, Sara Rosenbaum, J.D., addressed three issues related to health care coverage: How can coverage be made more affordable and workable for individuals and small businesses? What are the roles and responsibilities of individuals, employers, and government in achieving health coverage for all Americans? What role should public programs play? This transcript of her official statement begins with general observations concerning Health Coverage in America in order to provide a context to address these more specific questions.
The Continuing Cost Of Privatization: Extra Payments To Medicare Advantage Plans Jump To $11.4 Billion In 2009, Brian Biles, Jonah Pozen, Stuart Guterman
The Continuing Cost Of Privatization: Extra Payments To Medicare Advantage Plans Jump To $11.4 Billion In 2009, Brian Biles, Jonah Pozen, Stuart Guterman
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 explicitly increased Medicare payments to private Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. As a result, MA plans have, for the past six years, been paid more for their enrollees than they would be expected to cost in traditional fee-for-service Medicare. Payments to MA plans in 2009 are projected to be 13 percent greater than the corresponding costs in traditional Medicare—an average of $1,138 per MA plan enrollee, for a total of $11.4 billion. Although the extra payments are used to provide enrollees additional benefits, those benefits are not available to all beneficiaries—but they are financed by …
Controlling The Cost Of Municipal Health Insurance: Lessons From Springfield, Robert L. Carey
Controlling The Cost Of Municipal Health Insurance: Lessons From Springfield, Robert L. Carey
Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management Publications
The study finds that, by joining the Group Insurance Commission (GIC), Springfield cut increases in its health care costs an estimated $14 million to $18 million over two years. It saved an additional $5 million per year by requiring eligible municipal retirees to enroll in Medicare Part B as a precondition of receiving supplemental health coverage from the City. These two actions, together, reduced increases in the City’s health care costs an estimated 15-19% annually, on average, with savings growth each year due to compounding. Furthermore, the study estimates that if the GIC continues its past pattern of keeping its …

The H1n1 Influenza A Virus: A Test Case For A Global Response, Rebecca L. Katz, Karyn Feiden
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
The threat of widespread infection from the new H1N1 influenza A virus (also known as a swine flu virus) provides the first real-time test of the global and domestic preparedness activities that have moved forward over the past few years. The World Health Organization has declared the event a "public health emergency of international concern," the first time that designation has been used under the revised International Health Regulations. A public health emergency has also been declared in the United States.
Those steps have pushed influenza plans at the local, state, national, and global levels into motion. This paper reviews …

Primary Health Care Access Reform: Community Health Centers And The National Health Service Corps, Fitzhugh Mullan
Primary Health Care Access Reform: Community Health Centers And The National Health Service Corps, Fitzhugh Mullan
Health Policy and Management Congressional Testimonies
This testimony by Fitzhugh Mullan, M.D., addresses the following issues:
- Improving access to health care in the United States will require modifications in the U.S. health care workforce, the foremost of which will be the construction of a strong primary care base.
- Two-thirds of the U.S. physician workforce practice as specialists and the number of young physicians entering primary care is declining.
- The distribution of health care providers in the U.S. heavily favors urban areas. Metropolitan areas have 2-5 times as many physicians as non-metropolitan areas and economically disadvantaged areas have significant health care access problems.
- Today's physician-to-population ratio is …
Examining The Experiences Of Puerto Rico's Community Health Centers Under The Government Health Insurance Plan, A. Seiji Hayashi, Brad Finnegan, Peter Shin, Emily Jones, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Examining The Experiences Of Puerto Rico's Community Health Centers Under The Government Health Insurance Plan, A. Seiji Hayashi, Brad Finnegan, Peter Shin, Emily Jones, Sara J. Rosenbaum
Geiger Gibson/RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative
This research brief examines the experiences of Puerto Rico's community health centers under the Commonwealth’s 1994 Government Health Insurance Plan (GHIP) – the Commonwealth's Medicaid program – also known as the Reforma. Of particular interest are the effects of Medicaid under-financing coupled with health centers' continuing obligations to furnish subsidized care for uninsured patients. To finance GHIP, the Commonwealth substantially curtailed its involvement with the direct provision of health care in both community and inpatient settings, transforming the former system of direct care provision into health insurance premium subsidies.
In 2007, the 47 operating sites of Puerto Rico's 19 federally …
Who Will Care For The Women?, Candace Howes
Who Will Care For The Women?, Candace Howes
Economics Faculty Publications
Over 20 million people today, including children, working-age disabled, and elderly persons, require some sort of assistance to live safely. Largely because women live longer than men, well into the ages when the probability of needing care increases, 70 percent of elderly people who need long-term care are women. Furthermore, most long-term care is provided by women, mainly as unpaid care in the home, or as low-paid care in institutions and community settings (Stone & Weiner 2001). The United States faces a severe long-term care crisis because of the nation's inability to plan for the changing demographic balance. The crisis …

Over-Utilization Of Advanced Imaging In The Hospital Setting: An Educational Approach To Reduce Unnecessary Inpatient Studies, Guillermo Madero, J. Platnick, L. Voutsinas, R. Wetz, S. Buchbinder
Internal Medicine
By several measures, health care spending continues to rise, forcing businesses and families to cut back on operations and household expenses. In 2008, health care spending in the United States reached $2.4 trillion dollars, and is projected to reach $3.1 trillion in 2012.During the past decades, there has been a steady increase in the utilization of expensive inpatient imaging studies, with an overall increase in health care costs. In particular, advanced imaging includes CT, MRI and Nuclear Medicine, used for the diagnosis and management of hospitalized patients. The reasons for unnecessary imaging examinations include indirect financial benefit to physicians, medico-legal …
