What are Medicare Parts A and B? These are the core components of Medicare that provide basic coverage for hospital care and medical services, as well as comprise what many people routinely refer to as original Medicare.

Did you know Medicare covers home health services? That's right! If you're recovering from an illness or injury, Medicare can help you receive skilled care and therapy in the comfort of your own home. Here's what Medicare covers: ✅Skilled nursing care: Wound care, injections, medication management, and more. ✅Therapy: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help you regain your independence. ✅Medical social services: Assistance with navigating complex healthcare systems and accessing resources. ✅Home health aide services: Help with bathing, dressing, and other daily activities (when medically necessary). ✅Durable medical equipment: Walkers, wheelchairs, and other tools to aid your recovery. Important things to know: Medicare covers the cost in full! You'll only pay a 20% copay for durable medical equipment, and the Part B deductible applies.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Medicare payments for unplanned rehospitalizations cost over $17 billion - nearly 20% of Medicare payments to hospitals. Transitional care management is pivotal in preventing rehospitalization and reducing medical costs.

Studies show that regular visits to your primary care provider not only save money (as compared to delaying care and going to the emergency room instead) but lives. Emergency visits are 12 times the cost of a doctor's office visit. In addition, a study showed that increasing the number of PCPs by 10 in a population of 100,000 people, increased the average life expectancy of that group by over 51 days. Continuity of care is the difference. Selecting to see different providers, for example, relying on urgent care and "Minute Clinics" for cheap, sporadic care, does not improve long-term outcomes. Unfortunately, we have a shortage of PCP in the United States and less than 10% of prospective doctors are choosing primary care. Plus, many people are afraid to see any doctor due to the cost. https://lnkd.in/gBBkFPcc

https://lnkd.in/evjFwYnW Once again, the focus is on profitability, not positive outcomes. If primary care providers were able to benefit financially from preventing hospitalizations, as opposed to a stipend for creating a “treatment plan”, then the program would have value. All this program has done is create new business opportunities to take money out of the healthcare system.

It's National Healthcare Decisions Day, a great opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of advance care planning. Advance care planning involves discussing future decisions about one's medical care should they become seriously ill or unable to communicate their wishes. Advance care planning is wise for people of all ages. It is important for patients to express their wishes regarding healthcare, and it is equally important for healthcare institutions and facilities to respect those wishes.

In 2021, medical debt affected 15% of US households, exacerbated by assertive hospital collections and inflated bills, leading to a decline in trust in the medical field. A 2022 study found that 64% of individuals burdened by medical debt avoided necessary healthcare.

Bob Wilson, thank you for this share and your continued work to elevate and support rural hospitals and healthcare. Good healthcare policy decisions are not excel spreadsheet exercises. Although it is convenient for policy and law makers to take the “pay for” approach via spreadsheet. What we need is deep understanding of how care is planned and delivered, and what good looks like. We would be well served if regulators (CMS) would hold MA plans accountable and not over-pay them. By introducing the tens of billions of overpayment back into the system, we could: 1. Pay physicians (especially PCPs) fairly 2. Avoid harmful policy changes (like site neutrality) that disproportionately harm small hospitals who rely mainly on outpatient services to pay the bills and stay open Accountability is not a verb, it’s a way of doing business. So simple.
