There's been lots of hoopla about the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act for Medicare and Affordable Care Act enrollees. This presentation addresses how the new law really affects medical expenses which figure into your injury case evaluation.
The document summarizes The Walden Group's Q2 2012 Strategic Healthcare M&A Report. It discusses the impact of the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act individual mandate while invalidating Medicaid expansion requirements. This weakens the ACA's effectiveness in expanding coverage and addressing rising costs and quality issues. It argues that for real reform, patients need more responsibility, providers must adhere to standards, prevention should be rewarded, and FDA regulation balanced. The changes will pressure providers and medtech companies to focus on innovative, higher-margin technologies that improve outcomes and efficiencies.

Richard W. Bank, MD is a 67-year-old medical consultant who feels that proposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid would negatively impact elderly and poor communities. In 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services initially proposed cuts to the popular Medicare Advantage program, but faced resistance from insurers and politicians. While the CMS later suggested a smaller 1.9% reduction, health industry lobbyists challenged this and the CMS ultimately agreed to a 0.4% payment increase after reconsidering factors like risk assessment methods.
Healthcare reform post 2016 election platform summary 11 12_2016Mark C. Smith
The document discusses potential reforms to the US healthcare system following the 2016 election. It outlines President Trump's platform of repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with a patient-centered system focused on choice, quality, and affordability. Issues cited with the ACA include rising premiums, insurers exiting markets, and high deductibles. The platform proposes solutions like allowing cross-state insurance sales, health savings accounts, and granting states more flexibility in Medicaid. Repealing the ACA faces challenges, but elements may survive through budget reconciliation or remain due to popularity.

The document summarizes a breakfast forum discussing how changes to US healthcare policy will affect businesses. Experts Don Gilbert, Jim Springfield, and Dr. Kelly Larkin discussed the impact of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. If no changes are made, the national healthcare system could deteriorate as healthier individuals opt out, leaving a sicker risk pool. Attorneys note businesses will likely see increased healthcare costs passed down from federal government cuts to states to providers. While the future is uncertain, most agree Congress will pass a bill this year reducing some regulations.
Life Science Compliance Update November 2016Clay Willis
This document summarizes an article about value-based contracts (VBCs) between pharmaceutical companies and payers, and the potential implications of these contracts for government drug pricing programs. VBCs tie the price or reimbursement of drugs to certain outcomes or performance metrics. While VBCs are gaining momentum, there is little guidance on how they impact programs like Medicaid's Best Price. The article argues that manufacturers need a coordinated process across departments to evaluate VBCs and understand their effects on both commercial and government programs. It also provides an overview of VBC trends in the industry and discusses applying current government pricing guidance to these new complex agreements.

This document discusses value-based contracts (VBCs) and their potential impact on government pricing programs. VBCs tie drug prices or reimbursement to performance criteria or outcomes. Current guidance does not provide clear direction on how to evaluate VBCs for Medicaid pricing programs. The document suggests treating some VBCs as "temporal bundles," which would require complex pricing methodologies and adjustments over time. This could impact Medicaid rebates, 340B prices, and require manufacturers to develop processes for initial pricing estimates and true-ups. Manufacturers need coordinated approaches across functions to evaluate VBCs and understand impacts on commercial and government programs.

No surprise to anyone, the pandemic, civil unrest, economic uncertainty and an abundance of disastrous weather events influenced losses of over $1 billion in 2020, accelerating an already hardening insurance marketplace – one that is less friendly to insurance buyers.

In this article, CBIZ Insurance Services provides a 2021 Trends Alert and suggests how you can manage your risk profile to achieve your lowest cost of risk.
Will New Healthcare Policy Impact Value-Based Healthcare?Health Catalyst
The final days of 2016 were fraught with uncertainty about what Congress and the new Trump Administration would do to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the healthcare regulatory landscape overall. So far, in 2017, we do not have much more clarity. Repeal, repeal and replace, repeal and delay, modify without repeal—there are now even more questions than answers and still no consensus Republican plan in sight. Yet healthcare executives would certainly appreciate some modicum of clarity, at least on the narrower topic of whether the shift to value-based healthcare models will continue under whatever new system is coming. This webinar attempts to add clarity by analyzing what we know so far, as reflected in the limited actual evidence that is available.
Join Dan Orenstein, General Counsel, Health Catalyst, as he analyzes these three key pieces of information:
The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures)
The Executive Order on reducing the “burden” of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Tom Price’s comments at his confirmation hearings
The document discusses health reform in the United States and the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It details previous attempts at national health reform that failed prior to 2010 and the reasons reform is difficult. It then focuses on the key aspects of the ACA that allowed it to succeed where past reforms failed, such as the individual mandate, health insurance exchanges, employer requirements, and changes to private insurance markets.
This document discusses civil justice reform and the issue of abusive litigation in the U.S. It notes that the current tort system encourages frivolous lawsuits and defensive medicine, costing the economy billions each year. Reforms are needed to make the system more efficient while still protecting victims. The document outlines several problems with the current system, including the high costs imposed on businesses and consumers. It then provides recommendations to address lawsuit abuse through tort reform, limiting regulation through litigation, and encouraging arbitration as an alternative to costly lawsuits.
The document discusses a life insurance policy that provides death benefit protection while also allowing policyholders to access a portion of the death benefit if diagnosed with a critical or chronic illness. It provides an example of a 45-year-old man who suffers a heart attack and accelerates 90% of his $500,000 policy, receiving $268,219 to pay medical bills and other expenses while keeping $50,000 of the death benefit for his family. It also gives an example of a man who develops rheumatoid arthritis at 55 and can accelerate portions of his policy annually to pay for health care costs while preserving the rest of the savings for his family and retirement. The policy is presented as a way for clients to prepare for unexpected medical
The Facts About Medical Malpractice In Rhode Islandlegal5
This document summarizes a report about medical malpractice in Rhode Island. It finds that:
1) Preventable medical errors cost Rhode Island residents $63-108 million annually in lives lost and healthcare costs, far exceeding the $21.6 million annual cost of malpractice insurance for doctors.
2) Malpractice payouts by Rhode Island doctors have decreased 21% from 1997-2001 when adjusted for inflation, and million-dollar payouts have remained flat, contradicting claims of a litigation crisis.
3) A small proportion of doctors are responsible for half of malpractice payouts, yet two-thirds of those with multiple payouts have not faced discipline, indicating a failure to adequately

Healthcare systems around the world are fraught with challenges that reveal the cracks in today's operating models. But a nascent trend that is quickly becoming an imperative is poised to transform the industry: the consumerization of healthcare. By promoting and supporting more control, awareness, and responsibility on the part of the consumer, healthcare companies can drive a dramatic improvement in population health and reduction in costs.

Stroot is seeking a position applying her experience in network development and contracting to help develop pricing and contractual relationships in value-based models of healthcare delivery. She has a proven track record of over 15 years negotiating agreements between healthcare organizations to maximize reimbursements or minimize costs. Notable achievements include negotiating contracts producing over $450 million in annual revenue and agreements saving between $1-3 million annually for organizations like the University of Chicago and University of Michigan Health System.

The Top Three 2020 Healthcare Trends and How to PrepareHealth Catalyst
The document discusses three major healthcare trends for 2020: 1) Continued focus on consumerism and price transparency as consumers demand more affordable and convenient care options like telehealth. 2) Increased mergers and involvement of private companies in healthcare delivery, putting financial pressure on existing providers. 3) Growing emphasis on addressing social determinants of health like housing, employment, transportation, which impact individuals' health outcomes. Health systems will need strategies to meet changing consumer and policy demands while maintaining financial viability.
nov 2014 Presentation for Gramercy Forum Nov 2014 - DB and Multicultural FINA...Lewis Goldman
The document discusses how the life insurance industry needs to shift its focus from affluent customers to middle market and multicultural customers in order to grow. It notes that the average policy size and number of agents have increased significantly over time, showing the industry has moved upmarket. But the majority of US households earn under $100,000 annually and are currently underserved. The document proposes simplifying products, processes, and advertising to better reach middle market customers through more digital and retail distribution channels. It provides examples of simplified issue term life and guaranteed acceptance products with affordable rates and streamlined applications.

A panel of experts from Teradata, the American College, and IDC Health Insights will explore challenges for health plan CFOs and how to improve analytics for planning, budgeting, and reducing earnings volatility.
There is broad consensus around the structure of national health reform proposals but disagreements remain around key details. Most proposals include subsidies for lower-income individuals, a health insurance exchange, a mandate for individuals to have coverage, new rules for insurers, and efforts to slow cost growth through payment reforms. However, important questions remain around issues like how much subsidies should cover, who will run the exchange, how affordability will be determined, and how the proposals will be financed without adding to the federal deficit.
David Riddle chose to establish his health insurance company as a sole proprietorship rather than a partnership or corporation because the tax benefits are the same and he did not need over $3 million in annual sales. He invested around $1,000 in basic office equipment and technology to start the business. Technology has increased Riddle's sales and supply of policies by facilitating internet marketing and sales. The recession drove up demand for individual health insurance policies as people lost employer-provided coverage through job losses and unemployment. Riddle believes the new healthcare reform act will increase consumer sovereignty in the private health insurance sector by expanding the customer base significantly.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
