Medicaid Managed Care
Author: Walter Ochinko
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 9780756717582
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Since the mid-1990s, states have accelerated the enrollment of children with special needs in capitated MMC programs, which deliver medical services to beneficiaries for a fixed per-person fee. The Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 continued to require Federal approval for state Medicaid programs that mandate that these children enroll. This report: (1) presents data on the extent to which states are enrolling children with special needs, as defined in the BBA, in capitated MMC plans, & (2) assesses the scope & effectiveness of the safeguards that these states are implementing to ensure that children with special needs receive appropriate care within MMC.

America's Children
Author: Institute of Medicine and National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309173930
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
America's Children is a comprehensive, easy-to-read analysis of the relationship between health insurance and access to care. The book addresses three broad questions: How is children's health care currently financed? Does insurance equal access to care? How should the nation address the health needs of this vulnerable population? America's Children explores the changing role of Medicaid under managed care; state-initiated and private sector children's insurance programs; specific effects of insurance status on the care children receive; and the impact of chronic medical conditions and special health care needs. It also examines the status of "safety net" health providers, including community health centers, children's hospitals, school-based health centers, and others and reviews the changing patterns of coverage and tax policy options to increase coverage of private-sector, employer-based health insurance. In response to growing public concerns about uninsured children, last year Congress voted to provide $24 billion over five years for new state insurance initiatives. This volume will serve as a primer for concerned federal policymakers and regulators, state agency officials, health plan decisionmakers, health care providers, children's health advocates, and researchers.

Serving Children with Special Health Care Needs Within Medicaid Managed Care
Author: Deborah F. Perry

ISBN:
Category : Child health services
Languages : en
Pages : 10
Book Description
Depending on the definition used, children with special health care needs may account for nearly one third of children in the United States and an even larger proportion of children who are enrolled in Medicaid. Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) often have diagnosed conditions that require specialized treatment services; these services frequently have been reimbursed by Medicaid under fee-for-service payment arrangements. Now that states are increasingly providing health care services to children enrolled in Medicaid through managed care systems, policymakers face the difficult task of building systems of care that meet the unique needs of CSHCN. The National Governors' Association convened a policy forum that included policymakers and program managers from five states where services for CSHCN are being provided or planned within a Medicaid managed care framework -- California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Oregon. The forum participants discussed implementation issues and strategies for building a system of care that includes access to both primary care and specialty services. This Issue Brief summarizes these critical policy discussions. It is the last in a series of publications highlighting the needs of children as part of the Governors' Campaign for Children.

Paying Attention to Children in a Changing Health Care System
Author: Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309055881
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
America's health care system is being reshaped by a variety of market-driven changes, and states are emerging as the major governmental influence on health care policy. Amid these changes, the health and well-being of children can slip from view. Although most children are fundamentally healthy, they require health care that emphasizes preventive services, such as immunizations and regular monitoring of physical and psychosocial growth and development. This volume takes a broad look at access and quality of care for pregnant women, children, and mothers. Among the issues addressed are the scope of benefits available under various health care reform efforts and services for special-needs children under managed care.

Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs
Author: David Hollar
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146142335X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
Children with chronic conditions, developmental disorders, and birth defects represent a sizeable minority of American children—as many as one in five. Often their families have financial or other issues limiting their access to appropriate care, thus limiting their adult prospects as well. Compounding the problem, many valuable resources concerning this population are difficult to access although they may be critical to the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers creating standards for quality care and services. In response, the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs assembles research, applied, and policy perspectives reflecting the range of children’s problems requiring special services. Widely studied conditions (e.g., communication disorders, substance abuse) and those receiving lesser attention (e.g., tuberculosis) are covered, as are emerging ideas such as the “medical home” concept of continuity of care. Its interdisciplinary outlook makes the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs a vital, forward-looking text for developmental psychologists, pediatricians, early childhood and special education researchers and practitioners, disability researchers, policymakers, and advocates, and providers for children with special health care needs.
