    Out Of Pocket Health Payments

    Out of pocket health payments refer to the payments made by households at the point they receive health services. Typically, these include doctor’s consultation fees, purchases of medication and hospital bills.

It is also important to note that out of pocket payments are net of any insurance reimbursement (Xu 2005). Additionally, out of pocket health payments are the most problematic financing tools compared with prepayment mechanisms of taxes, social insurance and private health insurance. The two most prominent effects of out of pocket health expenditures are increased…

    The Importance Of Financing In Healthcare

    Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I agree, there is a lot of effort, time and money that goes in to producing a physician or any health care worker. I am a respiratory therapist, and to be where I am today, required a lot of effort. Most in health care choose to be there to help others, but they need to be paid to meet their needs for survival. Not only the pay of employees, hospitals have many other expenses such as maintenance of the building and keeping up with advanced equipment and therapies. Financing is an essential part of operation a health care organization and qualified personnel are needed to plan and balance the budget.…

    Economics and Health Care

    Many people claim that the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (PPAC), also known as “Obamacare” is the reason why our country continues to have the slow reaction it is having with increasing jobs nation wide but now it will also begin to affect the food service industry. Some company owners did not believe that such a law would impact their business the way it has and or will. The law requires companies with fifty or more employees to have more expensive health care insurance of about $2,000 to $3,000 per worker! It is said that such actions may actually keep small business owners from expanding beyond because they may not be willing to spend so much on health insurance for their employees.…
