The role of private health insurance in chronic disease management | Croakey

The role of private health insurance in chronic disease management | Croakey | Case Management in Health Care | Scoop.it
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

Case Management looks for the best outcome of patients in the health care arena.  One pivital area in the best outcome for patients is control of chronic diseases.  Controlling disease is about prevention and as we all know in the past insurance is always weary of what they consider to be un-needed checkups.

With new reforms, great amounts of money can be saved by precautiona nd prevention for both hospitals and the insurance companies.  Unneeded visits and less expensive preventive measures are in everyone's best interest.

If you are interested in learning more about health care management, then please review the program.

American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

Case Managers need to be used properly when assigned a case.  In many cases there is a underutilization which results in unncessary over payments for medicial payments or an overutilization which results just in purely unnecessary payments for services that have no positive impact for the patient.

In these cases, a good balance needs to be achieved for good case management to bring the best outcome for hospital/firm and patient.

If you want to become a healthcare case manager, then please review the program
