Opinion: Should Patients Have Immediate Access to Test Results?
|
| |
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services wants to change the lab results system. HHS proposals would allow patients to immediately review their lab results via a Web site, almost at the same time as their physicians. Whether this is a good idea or bad will depend on what happens after the patients view their results.
Patients should have access to their lab tests. But it is crucial that a medical professional explains the results. Raw numbers without the benefit of context can also cause patient anxiety. Patients often assume the worst, so viewing results alone might cause unnecessary alarm.

Doctors Will Have to Figure Out Who Gets "No Cost" Birth Control
|
| The new provision of the federal health law that waives cost sharing for women's preventive health services may be a mandate on insurance companies, but it's providers who are complaining about its burden.
That's because not all women are eligible for the cost sharing waiver at the same time. The rule went into effect August 8, but only for plans that are new or renewing after that date. Women with "grandfathered" plans that don't renew for months or even years still face co-pays until that time.

CMS Starts Auditing Recipients of Meaningful Use Bonuses
|
| Some physicians who have received a meaningful use incentive check for adopting electronic health records may have received another piece of mail recently from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The gist of that letter: You are being audited.
The company contracted by CMS to conduct post-payment auditing of hospitals and eligible professionals who successfully claimed meaningful use has started its work. The auditing process, a congressional requirement under the 2009 federal stimulus package that authorized the EHR bonuses, will be carried out by Figliozzi and Co., an accounting firm based in Garden City, N.Y.
The firm will audit recipients who obtained their bonuses from Medicare and hospitals that received incentive payments from both Medicare and Medicaid. States and their individual contractors will audit incentive program participants who received bonuses from Medicaid alone.

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN Settles False-Claim Charges for $1.26 Million
|
| The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, last week agreed to pay $1.26 million to settle federal charges of knowingly billing Medicare, Medicaid, and other government healthcare programs for nonexistent pathology work.
The Mayo Clinic says it inadvertently submitted the errant claims until September 2007, when it discovered and corrected its mistake. It reimbursed the government roughly $260,000 about a year later, after receiving a federal subpoena about its pathology billing practices. The payment was voluntary, according to the Mayo Clinic. The settlement reached last Thursday calls on the Mayo Clinic to pay the government an additional $1 million.

Yes, There's Probably A Medical App For That
|
| How many calories have I consumed this week? How well did I sleep last night?
What about this thing on my leg - is it infected? What does an ECG for ventricular tachycardia look like again?
Yes, you guessed it. There is an app for that.
In fact, the sheer number of applications that attempt to answer your burning medical queries is staggering. Consider the platforms alone: Once there were only iPhone apps, then Android and iPads entered the market. You can't even call them mobile apps anymore - Facebook has its own apps, and Google's Internet browser, Chrome, does, too.

Setting a Global Standard for Medical Education
|
| A 2023 rule that all IMGs graduate from appropriately accredited medical schools to practice in the U.S. is fueling global education requirements.
As an international medical graduate, Dr. Saby Karuppiah, MPH, knows the challenges of becoming certified to practice in the United States. He also knows that all medical schools are different. Views on how to prepare students to practice medicine vary by school and by culture.
"Even though a vast majority of IMG physicians are competent and well-trained like myself, a few undertrained IMGs can give a bad rap to all IMGs in general," said Dr. Karuppiah, who went to medical school at Sri Ramachandra University in India and completed residency training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
Each year, thousands of IMGs seek to practice in the U.S. These doctors make up a quarter of the U.S. physician work force and play an important role in helping to fill shortages nationwide, with many practicing in rural and other medically underserved areas.
