Book Description
I can think of no one more fitting to provide the broad perspective on the City's health system, as well as a specific analysis of the current state of affairs. --James R. Tallone, Jr., President, United Hospital FundFor the three decades since passage of Medicare and Medicaid, health care service to the American people has expanded. Relatively few studies have assessed the extent to which access to health care have actually improved for specific groups, such as the poor and the middle class. This book is an in-depth assessment of the extent to which Medicare and Medicaid have met expectations of citizens. New York City is the focus because of its long-standing commitment to provide essential health care to all citizens irrespective of ability to pay, its hospital system composed of voluntary and public sectors, and its vast governmental and private funding.

Health-Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030946921X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

Implementing Behavioral Health Care Reform in New York's Medicaid Program
Author: Elizabeth M. Patchias
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781933881232
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 13
Book Description
This report examines the implementation of Medicaid policy changes in New York, which will require participation in care management for beneficiaries receiving behavioral health services. Until now beneficiaries have typically received these services under a fee-for-service payment model. With the new State policy shifting the Medicaid behavioral health benefit into a new care management framework, this report explains the roles and responsibilities of newly authorized regional behavioral health organizations; considers the relationships among them, the State, providers, managed care plans, and beneficiaries; discusses the long-term challenges of integrating behavioral and physical health care delivery; and considers how the State might measure the effectiveness of care.

Adapting Managed Care to Rural Delivery Systems
Author: Mary K. Bliss
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medicaid
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
PURPOSE: To critically examine the results of a decentralized approach to Medicaid reform through managed care, in which program planning was conducted at the county level. METHODS: Investigators conducted a prospective embedded case study of the six rural counties of the western New York region. Qualitative primary, archival, and secondary data were collected from county managed care planners, state health and welfare administrators, and HMO representatives throughout a two-year study period in the form of interviews, focus groups, and reports. Invesigators synthesized the data into structured summaries for each county. County nmanaged care planners reviewed and verified the summaries. RESULTS: Counties developed Medicaid managed care plans that reflected local needs, characteristics, and interests. CONCLUSION: The flexibility of the decentralized approach permitted adaptations aimed at overcoming rural barriers and protecting rural health care delivery systems. The planning process, however, was time consuming.
