Achieving Better Quality of Care for Low-Income Populations: The Roles of Health Insurance and the Medical Home in Reducing Health Inequities
May 17th, 2012
An analysis of the Commonwealth Fund 2010 Biennial Health Insurance Survey. Demonstrates that when low-income adults have both health insurance and a medical home, they are less likely to report cost-related access problems, more likely to be up-to-date with preventive screenings, and report greater satisfaction with the quality of their care. — Commonwealth Fund (Source: Rural publications via the Rural Assistance Center)

Is there such a thing as “power of the attorney” to send medical bills to auto insurances?
April 25th, 2012
Question by : Is there such a thing as “power of the attorney” to send medical bills to auto insurances?
NEW JERSEY – This is regarding an attorney’s client who is a “motor vehicle accident” patient in a Rehab Center. Now, the PARALEGAL from the attorney’s office seems like she wants to speed up the reimbursements and wants to send the bills herself, expediting it using the “power of the attorney” and is DEMANDING the ITEMIZED bills and the medical records of this patient from the facility. Is this right? Shouldn’t the proper procedure be billed by the medical provider’s biller sending the approved Health Insurance Claim Forms, with the attending provider’s signature and the medical records?
Best answer:
Answer by mbrcatz
It depends on who’s insurance company you’re talking about.
If it’s a payment request from the CLIENT’S auto insurance carrier, that’s fine, and they can do that. But the client (or their attorney) cannot “bill” someone else’s insurance. They can only demand money.
No doubt part of the agreement between the client and the attorney, includes a power of attorney, and the attorney (or their representative) DOES have not only the right, but the NEED to get medical records and detailed billing, as part of disclosure for the proposed lawsuit.
In any state with no fault benefits, the auto carrier with med pay is the one who’s responsible – not the health insurance carrier.

A spontaneous tweet up on medical prices
April 16th, 2012
Earlier today I tweeted the NY Times article on the confusing state of medical pricing. I am specifically referring to prices rather than costs, because likely only accountants or economists could begin to understand medical costs.
First some assumptions:
Health care does not generally operate on free market principles. As a physician I cannot set my payment levels, rather the insurance companies and Medicare dictate what they will pay.
Reputation, perceived quality, patient-centeredness and other desirable features have no influence on our payment or what insurance companies pay.
The hospital will receive different payments for the same procedure or hospital stay from different insurers.
Patients have no influence over payment, except when they directly buy services, e.g., mu…

Sinseh may get to issue medical chits
March 3rd, 2012
So reports the NST
PRACTITIONERS of traditional medicine may issue sick leave certificates to patients under a proposed law expected to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat, possibly this month.
This is the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) Bill, which is now with the attorney-general’s chambers.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the proposed legislation would weed out bogus healers and turn TCM into one of the core branches in healthcare.
“We are waiting for the attorney-general to get back to us and if they are fast, we could present the bill at the next parliamentary session this month or June at the latest,” he said after opening Hospital Sungai Long (HSL) here yesterday.
Liow said the bill, which was drafted by TCM practitioners and experts, would no…

Medical Assistant Students Frustrated About Medical Coding Expectations
February 27th, 2012
Conclusion (Editorial Commentary): I believe medical assistant programs who delve too deeply into the medical coding and billing process and expect more than a handful common diagnostic and procedural codes looked up in the CPT-9 manual are using up too much valuable time that could be better spent on practicing telephone manners, appointment scheduling, patient registration, filing procedures, electronic medical record management, calculating adult and pediatric medication dosages, practicing injections, taking vital signs, and drawing blood. Those who want to embark on a medical coding and billing career, or aim for a medical office management, or hospital administration position can always sign up for an in depth medical coding and billing training program, or in continuing educati…

Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
February 23rd, 2012
Question by Dick J: Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
Let’s say that you get life insurance and claim to be a non-smoker. Then let’s say that you start smoking or resume smoking. Assuming that your medical records show that you smoked, will most life insurance companies check your records, see that you smoked, and then cancel your benefit?
Best answer:
Answer by friendlystranger65
I am unsure if answering this question in the negative would contribute to fraud.
Perhaps you have a method of assuring that the proposed insured be around to assist or supervise the investigation.
In general, death claims are only investigated if there is suspicion of fraud. If the insurance is within the incontestable period, benefits may be limited to premiums paid, plus interest.
Generally, life insurance contracts are incontestable after having been in for two years.
