Book excerpt: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have been moving from volume-based, fee-for-service payment to value-based payment (VBP), which aims to improve health care quality, health outcomes, and patient care experiences, while also controlling costs. Since the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, CMS has implemented a variety of VBP strategies, including incentive programs and risk-based alternative payment models. Early evidence from these programs raised concerns about potential unintended consequences for health equity. Specifically, emerging evidence suggests that providers disproportionately serving patients with social risk factors for poor health outcomes (e.g., individuals with low socioeconomic position, racial and ethnic minorities, gender and sexual minorities, socially isolated persons, and individuals residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods) may be more likely to fare poorly on quality rankings and to receive financial penalties, and less likely to receive financial rewards. The drivers of these disparities are poorly understood, and differences in interpretation have led to divergent concerns about the potential effect of VBP on health equity. Some suggest that underlying differences in patient characteristics that are out of the control of providers lead to differences in health outcomes. At the same time, others are concerned that differences in outcomes between providers serving socially at-risk populations and providers serving the general population reflect disparities in the provision of health care. Systems Practices for the Care of Socially At-Risk Populations seeks to better distinguish the drivers of variations in performance among providers disproportionately serving socially at-risk populations and identifies methods to account for social risk factors in Medicare payment programs. This report identifies best practices of high-performing hospitals, health plans, and other providers that serve disproportionately higher shares of socioeconomically disadvantaged populations and compares those best practices of low-performing providers serving similar patient populations. It is the second in a series of five brief reports that aim to inform the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) analyses that account for social risk factors in Medicare payment programs mandated through the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act.

This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law (Affordable Care Act). The enactment of this legislation came after nearly 100 years of effort to advance comprehensive health care reform in the United States. At its fifth anniversary, many of the law's key provisions have gone into effect and progress has been made toward its goals of improving the affordability, accessibility, and quality of health care nationwide.This report summarizes key elements of the Affordable Care Act and provides detail on theirimplementation and results to date. It also provides key statistics on the impact of the law to date. Key StatisticsSince the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, the United States health care system has taken important steps toward providing all Americans with quality, affordable health care. Some key measures of that progress include millions more Americans with health insurance, tens of millions of Americans benefiting from improved consumer protections, slower health care cost growth, and improved health care quality.More Insured AmericansSince several of the Affordable Care Act's coverage provisions took effect, about 16.4 millionuninsured people have gained health insurance coverage.The uninsured rate was at the lowest level recorded across five decades of data.The uninsured rate declined across all race and ethnicity categories but there were greaterdeclines among African Americans and Latinos than among Whites. Among African Americans,the uninsured rate declined by 9.2 percentage points, resulting in 2.3 million adults gainingcoverage and among Latinos, the uninsured rate dropped by 12.3 percentage points resulting in4.2 million adults gaining coverage. During open enrollment for 2015, nearly 11.7 million Americans have selected plans or were automatically re-enrolled in coverage through the Marketplaces. As of January 2015, approximately 11.2 million additional Americans were covered underMedicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program compared to the start of October 2013,when the Affordable Care Act's open enrollment began. Since 2010, 5.7 million young adults have gained coverage, many through the Affordable Care Act's provision allowing young adults to remain on a parent's plan to age 26 and its broader expansion of coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplaces and Medicaid. By the second quarter of 2014, the uninsured rate among young adults had dropped by more than 40 percent.Early Consumer Protections and Health Insurance ReformsBeginning soon after the law's enactment, reforms to the private health insurance market and consumer protections began. These early reforms included barring most health plans from imposing pre-existing condition exclusions on children under 19, prohibiting lifetime limits on coverage, ending insurance coverage rescissions, and improving consumer appeals rights. Many consumers gained improved rights to obtain information about why a claim or coverage had been denied, to appeal to the insurance company, and to obtain an independent third-party review of the insurer's decision. In addition to these new rights and protections, the Affordable Care Act took steps to increase transparency in the health insurance market, providing consumers a short, plain-language summary of benefits and coverage and a new website to review health insurance issuers and products available in their area.Prohibiting Coverage Denials of Children Based on Pre-Existing Conditions(Section 2704), Effective Date: September 23, 2010Prior to the Affordable Care Act, in the vast majority of States, insurance companies in the individual or small group health insurance market could deny coverage, charge higher premiums, and limit benefits to individuals based on pre-existing conditions.

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA; P.L. 111-148) was signed into law on March 23, 2010. The law comprises numerous provisions in 10 titles. The provisions in Titles I-VIII largely relate to how health care in the United States is financed, organized, and delivered. Title IX contains revenue provisions. Title X reauthorizes the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, establishes some new programs and requirements, and amends provisions included in the other nine titles of the ACA. On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA; P.L. 111-152) was signed into law, which included new provisions and amended several ACA provisions. Since enactment of the ACA and HCERA, lawmakers have repeatedly debated the laws' implementation and considered bills to repeal, defund, or otherwise amend them. This report summarizes legislative actions taken during the 111th-115th Congresses to modify the health care-related provisions of the ACA and HCERA. The first part of the report provides a brief overview of the laws' core provisions and their impact on federal spending and health insurance coverage as context for the other material presented in the report. The second part of the report includes Table 2, which summarizes laws enacted during the 111th-115th Congresses that modified ACA or HCERA provisions. The third part of the report lists bills passed in the House or the Senate during the 111th-115th Congresses that would have modified ACA or HCERA provisions, had they been enacted. Identifying legislation that modifies the ACA and HCERA has become increasingly difficult over the years. This is because of the vast number of ACA and HCERA provisions, their complexity, and the fact that these provisions are codified in many different parts of the U.S. Code. As a result, the legislation presented in this report's tables may not include all enacted legislation that modifies the ACA or HCERA, or all House- or Senate-passed legislation that would have modified the ACA or HCERA, had it been enacted. Due to the increasing complexity of tracking such legislation and concerns about the ability to do so authoritatively, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) does not intend to update this report.

Book excerpt: Compilation Of Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act [As Amended Through May 1, 2010]; Part B Office of the Legislative Counsel The healthcare legislation passed in 2010 was passed in two bills which included the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the modifications that were passed as a compromise bill. After the ACA was modified, the legal staff of the US House of Representatives put together a document that combines the parts of the bill that relate to healthcare. This is the second volume of a two volume set. This document is of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (''PPACA''; Public Law 111-148) consolidating the amendments made by title X of the Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (''HCERA''; Public Law 111-152). The text of the Indian Health Care Improvement Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2009 (S. 1790), as enacted (in amended form) by section 10221 of PPACA, is shown in a separate, accompanying document. This document was prepared by the attorneys and staff of the House Office of the Legislative Counsel (HOLC) for the use of its attorneys and clients. It is not an official document of the House of Representatives or its committees and may not be cited as ''the law''. At the request of the Leadership, it is being made available to the public through Congressional websites and may be downloaded from them

Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Department of Health and Human Services issues this final rule which provides that enforcement of the federal statutory health care provider conscience protections will be handled by the Department's Office for Civil Rights, in conjunction with the Department's funding components. This Final Rule rescinds, in part, and revises, the December 19, 2008 Final Rule entitled "Ensuring That Department of Health and Human Services Funds Do Not Support Coercive or Discriminatory Policies or Practices in Violation of Federal Law" (the "2008 Final Rule"). Neither the 2008 final rule, nor this final rule, alters the statutory protections for individuals and health care entities under the federal health care provider conscience protection statutes, including the Church Amendments, Section 245 of the Public Health Service Act, and the Weldon Amendment. These federal statutory health care provider conscience protections remain in effect.
