    Unitedhealthcare Case Study

    As a resolution analyst at UnitedHealthcare (UHC), over ninety percent of my decisions are based on evidence provided by providers’ and members’ health policy contract and UHC reimbursement policies. The health policy contract provides payment regulations on how to correctly make a decision of either a claim is to be denied, paid or if additional steps are required. In a case where a member is asserting that an out-of-network provider should be reimbursed in-network based on their research involves investigating beyond the member’s contract and UHC reimbursement policies to justify an overturn. If the member provides proofs such as a copy of the participating provider listing on UHC's website or the provider proper Tax ID to support their…

    How Does Kaiser Permanente Implement Change In The Medical Practice

    The collaborative model used by Kaiser Permanente to implement change in the medical practice involves forming a group of cross functional teams from multiple hospitals to design and implement improved care protocols. This process involved distinct action periods through repeated cycles of (1) designing what process change could be made to improve performance, (2) making the change, (3) testing whether the change resulted in the desired impact, and (4) deciding whether to adopt the change, modify the process or abandon the change.…

    Managed Care Organizations Case Study

    One of the biggest hesitations would have to be cost to build an implement such a system. The technique depends on an organization having "clean" data to analyze, which requires data being scrubbed and moved to data warehouses. Many payers lack the money and manpower to build and maintain these warehouses. (Kongstvedt, P., Capagemini). In addition, internal politics and the numerous constituencies within a managed care organization can make it difficult to focus data mining efforts, says Scott Kozicki.…

    Hcr 230 Compare And Contrast Marketing Strategy

    Employer sponsored medical insurance provides employees coverage under group health plans. Group health plans are managed by the Human Resources department. Employers are able to create a benefits package that can be cost effective and offers reduced costs to employees. There are some benefits that can be omitted an example could be a prescription plan.

    Kaiser Permanente Patient Placement

    I have researched many websites after Googling a medical condition and then compare the information. Information sites like WebMD provide useful information. However, they must not be a replacement for advice from a medical professional. I firmly believe that consumers need to educate themselves, and I have often heard patients discussing with the doctor about what they have read on the web about their condition and possible treatment options.…

    Managed Care Case Study

    For the past several years, the health care and insurance industries in America have been undergoing significant reform in order to rein in the high cost of delivering health care services. Managed care has become a cornerstone of this process (Strickland, 1995). The case management industry (with its focus on cost containment, managed competition, and quality care) is playing an increasingly important role in the managed care environment (Owens, 1996). According to Mullahy (1995a), the number of case managers has risen astronomically in recent years. These individuals come from diverse professional backgrounds and practice settings that include nursing, rehabilitation counseling, and social work.…

    Health Care Coverage: A Case Study

    Health care is always going to be an important issue, especially when much of the population does not have coverage for one reason or another. A series of surveys were conducted in 2010 in Central Texas by the Central Texas Sustainability Project (CTSIP) to find out who had health coverage. They also asked follow up questions to those who do not have health care coverage to get the reasons why and to determine trends in their data.…

    kaiser Permanente

    As published in the August 2012 San Diego Business Journal, Kaiser believes the way they deliver health care differs from other organizations. One reason being is that they play every position across the care field, from providing the insurance to delivering the health care and health related services. Another explanation derives from their continued innovative efforts to improve efficiency, such as: information continuity, peer reviews, care coordination and providing easier access to care. (San Diego Business Journal August 2012)…

    Kaiser's Caring Model

    I agree with Kaiser’s view of caring and curing complement each other through the focus in health promotion. This organization uses resources into curing the disease, but also uses in promoting health and preventing recurrence. The aspect of caring through health promotion is what makes this hospital different from other organizations. The caring model transformed Kaiser’s understanding of healing through patient satisfaction and performing the best to their needs in the hospital. My mission statement is based on my reflection on why I wanted to become a nurse. “to provide care, compassion, and safe nursing practice as I prevent illness, restore health and in the end make a positive difference in someone’s life each and everyday in my nursing career.” Caring is act of kindness and it is an ideal value I practice in nursing. I believe caring includes the act of honesty, integrity, trust, flexibility, reliability and the respect for human dignity and Kaiser has integrated the empathic framework of caring into their…

    Mitigate Uninsured Patients: A Case Study

    As a nursing profession, the American Nurses Association is advocating for a single-system payer to reduce inefficiency, simplification of rules for the health care reform that will provide a universal coverage, and curtail the increase cost of administration, as originally proposed by the Institute of Medicine in 2004 (Lopez, 2011; Groves, 2014). Nurses can stand together to petition the lawmakers in Texas to expand the current programs for Medicaid. In addition, advocate for the undocumented residents to allow them to purchase private insurance. Some safety nets for the uninsured are the state-funded hospitals, the primary care clinics by the local health departments, non-profit organizations,…

    Analysis Of Aon Hewitt

    Each strength seems strategic; the acquisition of Hewitt Associates by Aon merged two large global organizations. AH has financial backing to enter new markets. Since the merger, AH began offering retiree health care exchange services, purchased OmniPoint Consulting, which is a leading SaaS implementation, company, and currently featuring scores of new technology services to better support clients. Having the financial support to introduce new platforms and services has reaffirmed Hewitt’s long-standing reputation as a pioneering company. Hewitt Associates rose to prominence when it managed the U.S. government’s “pay-as-you-go” income taxes in 1943, now in 2014 AH is at the forefront of the retiree healthcare exchange movement which is an overlooked by-product of health care reform. AH’s large arsenal of support services would be useless without a large client base. AH’s has the ability to service clients anywhere in the world. Their clients represent almost every industry, which essentially creates contingency for any economic scenario because, typically, financial crisis do not normally affect all industries simultaneously. Although AH is not concerned about a one-dimensional client portfolio, there are weaknesses that must be…
